Official: US expelling Syrian charge d'affaires

None

he US State Department is expelling Syria's top diplomat in Washington following a wave of deadly attacks on civilians in Syria over the weekend, a US official said on Tuesday.

 

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Syrian charge d'affaires would be given 72 hours to leave the country. Syria's longtime ambassador to Washington, Imad Moustapha, was recalled late last year and a formal replacement has not been named, leaving the charge d'affaires as Damascus' top representative in the United States.
