(Reuters) - Argentina's Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner was attacked late on Thursday by an assailant with a loaded gun that apparently failed to discharge.
The attack happened outside her Buenos Aires home where hundreds of supporters have gathered in recent days to voice their backing for the former two-term president. She is facing corruption allegations that she denies, with prosecutors calling for a lengthy jail term.
