IMF's Strauss-Khan under suicide watch

  • 12 years ago
Dominique Strauss-Kahn is now on a suicide watch after spending his first full day in a New York City jail.

The International Monetary Fund chief is accused of trying to rape a hotel maid.

Strauss-Kahn is under increasing pressure to resign.

Timothy Geitner, the US treasury secretary, says he's obviously not in a position to run the institution.
