Strauss-Kahn accuser gives first interview

---

The New York hotel maid who accuses former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn of attempting to rape her in a hotel suite has given her first interview, reports BBC. Nafissatou Diallo told Newsweek magazine that she has told the truth about the incident on 14 May. The move comes as authorities consider whether to drop charges against him amid doubts over her credibility. The French politician, 62, who resigned as head of the IMF to defend himself, vigorously denies all the charges. Ms Diallo told Newsweek magazine: "I want him to go to jail. I want him to know there are some places you cannot use your power, you cannot use your money." The 32-year-old immigrant from Guinea told the magazine that she was scared about losing her job when she eventually ran from the room where the incident allegedly took place.
