IMF has not had contact with Strauss-Kahn

The IMF has not been in touch with jailed managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn since his arrest in New York but believes it would be important to do so "in due course," a spokesman said on Tuesday.

Two board sources told Reuters earlier the board was planning to contact him to discuss whether or not he plans to continue in his post while facing charges of sexual assault. (Reuters)
