Argentina lays new claim to Falklands
Argentina's claim to the Falkland Islands, which remain in British hands after a 1982 war, is ''inalienable'', President Cristina Kirchner says. ''The sovereign claim to the Malvinas Islands (Argentina's name for them) is inalienable,'' she said in a speech marking the 26th anniversary of Argentina's ill-fated invasion of the two islands 480km offshore. The April 2, 1982 invasion prompted the British prime minister at the time, Margaret Thatcher, to deploy naval forces to retake the Falklands.
| Economy and political situation must be real bad for Crissie right now, she's getting ready for a war ... |
| Figures the MOD is overstretched right now and doesn't have Gordo's support anyway. Maybe intends to make a grab again? |
