US: Muslim hotel workers suspended during FM Ehud Barak's stay

Muslim employees of a Washington hotel claim that they were removed from the premises while Israeli Foreign Minister Ehud Barak stayed there on his visit. The manager of the hotel stated that she followed directions given by the US State Department, which requested to review the list of hotel workers for the duration of Barak's stay.

 

A State Department spokesperson said that this was a routine practice, but insisted that the review was not done for political or religious reasons. (AFP)
