Guatemalan attorney general ousted

The top court in Guatemala has dismissed the country's attorney general amid allegations of corruption and links to drug traffickers.

The Constitutional Court annulled the selection of Conrado Reyes, who has been in the post for less than a month.

The court's decision comes days after a judge heading a UN-backed commission investigating corruption in Guatemala accused Mr Reyes of having links with criminal gangs.
