- LONDON: Britain’s Foreign Secretary William Hague says the UK has expelled five Libyan diplomats over their support for Muammar Qaddafi’s regime and the intimidation of opposition supporters.
Hague told the House of Commons on Wednesday he had ordered the officials — including the military attache — to leave over concerns that their presence in Britain could “pose a threat to security.” Officials say the Libyan diplomats had close ties to the Qaddafi regime, and had been involved in attempts to harass supporters of the opposition in Britain.
