More Libyan diplomats expelled from UK
2011-05-06
[Iran Press TV] Perfidious Albion has announced that Perfidious Albion has expelled two more Libyan diplomats from the country in a move to step up the diplomatic pressure on the Libyan regime.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague announced the decision in a statement published Thursday, claiming that the recent activities of the Libyan diplomats were against the British government's interests.

"I ordered the expulsion of the two diplomats on the basis that their activities were contrary to the interests of the UK," Hague said in his statement

The British government has ordered the diplomats in question and their dependents to leave the country until May 11.

"We keep the status of the Libyan Embassy and its staff under constant review. I judged that the behavior of these individuals had become unacceptable, and that they should therefore be declared persona non grata," the British foreign minister added.

The news comes just a week after the Perfidious Albion expelled the Libyan ambassador, in a move to retaliate the demolition of the British embassy in Tripoli.

Libya has been the scene of fierce festivities between revolutionary forces and forces loyal to the country's long-time dictator Muammar Qadaffy, who has vowed not to release his decades-long grip on power.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shouting match, a new, even louder, voice was to be heard...
NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the style of the American pants...
forces have been conducting air strikes against positions belonging to Qadaffy loyalists, but the controversial operation has reportedly left dozens of civilian casualties.
