Argentina resurrects claim to Falklands 25 years after war

TWENTY-FIVE years after hostilities ceased, Argentina is opening a new front in the Falklands War.

Rather than jets and mortar rounds, however, this salvo involves diplomats appealing for help at the United Nations and the government reasserting long-standing claims to the Falkland Islands.

Britain, however, maintains its hold on the island, which Argentina invaded 25 years ago this Monday.
