Ecuador president "gets death threats"

QUITO: Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa said Saturday he had received death threats via the micro-blogging service Twitter, and had ordered an investigation.

"Have you seen how many death threats I received? Again someone on Twitter wrote 'Hail Caesar, we will kill you! Hail MashiRafael, who we will kill, we salute you!'" Correa said in his weekly address.

The president, who has used the Twitter handle @MashiRafael since July and currently has more than 141,900 followers, said he has asked Interior Minister Jose Serrano to investigate the threatening messages.
