Third person arrested in Argentina over attempt to assassinate vice-president

Agustina Diaz was arrested reportedly after a forensic examination of Brenda Uliarte's phone revealed messages regarding the attack

A third suspect has been arrested over the attempted assassination of Argentina's vice-president, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, as investigators pursue suspicions that the attack was not the act of a lone gunman.

Fernandez was unharmed during the incident on 1 September, when Fernando Andres Sabag Montiel, 35, pulled the trigger of his handgun inches away from her face. The gun failed to fire, and the vice-president's supporters quickly subdued the would-be assassin.
