| Germany dumps four Iraqi diplos |
| 2003-03-20 |
| Germany has expelled four Iraqi diplomats for activities considered "incompatible with their diplomatic status", the foreign ministry announced on Wednesday. The ministry said the diplomats, who were not identified, had "been carrying out activities incompatible with their diplomatic status" and were asked on Tuesday to leave "at short notice". "You! The guys with the turbans! Get the hell out!" The phrase is diplomatic language for activities like monitoring members of the Iraqi opposition abroad or espionage. It was unclear whether any of the four had left Germany, but the DPA press agency reported that they had been given until midnight Wednesday to leave. |
