<p>Thieves in Argentina have stolen the cash that President Cristina Fernandez was to use on a trip to the Middle East.</p>
<p>A government official had picked up the travel cash at the treasury and was carrying it in a briefcase when he was intercepted by three gunmen a few yards from his home in a Buenos Aires&#8217; neighbourhood, police said.</p>
<p>He had just been dropped off by his driver.</p>
<p>Communications Deputy Secretary Alfredo Scocimarro confirmed the robbery took place but declined to say how much was stolen.</p>
<p>Local media said the official was carrying 68,000 US dollars and 17,000 euros in cash.</p>
<p>Police were investigating why the official withdrew the money ahead of the trip and why he was apparently taking it home with him.</p>
<p>On Sunday, Ms Fernandez begins a state visit to Kuwait, Qatar and Turkey aimed at boosting trade and strengthening ties to the region.</p>
<p>Ms Fernandez was travelling with her daughter, Florencia Kirchner, to Egypt for some sightseeing before the start of the official trip.</p>
<p>Police believe someone tipped off the thieves that the employee was carrying the money and they followed him by motorcycle to his house.</p>
<p>Mr Scocimarro said the money had been destined for expenses for the people on the presidential plane.</p>
