Strauss-Kahn lawyers meet prosecutors

Lawyers for Dominique Strauss-Kahn have met US prosecutors for what the defence called a "productive discussion", but there was no immediate word on what would happen to the sex assault case hit by doubts about the accuser's credibility.

The two sides met privately for about 90 minutes in Manhattan district attorney Cyrus Vance's offices, but participants were tight-lipped about the exchange, which came five days after prosecutors said the accuser had not been truthful about her background and the aftermath of the alleged attack.
