Brazil's top diplomat resigns over row with Bolivia
Brazil's foreign minister resigned over rising tensions with La Paz after Brazilian diplomats spirited away a Bolivian opposition senator wanted for corruption.
"President Dilma Rousseff has accepted minister (Antonio) Patriota's resignation," a government spokesman told AFP, adding that he would be replaced by Luis Alberto Figueiredo, Brazil's ambassador to the United Nations in New York.
The announcement came after a meeting between Rousseff and the 59-year-old Patriota late Monday.
A Brazilian diplomat had revealed earlier in the day that he helped Bolivian opposition senator Roger Pinto escape to Brazil after he was holed up for 15 months in Brasilia's embassy in La Paz despite having been granted asylum.

It's Evo versus Dilma. This could get interesting.
