Madrid (CNN) — Spain is expelling the Libyan ambassador to Madrid and three other Libyan diplomats here, the Spanish Foreign Ministry said in a statement Thursday.
“The government of Spain has decided to put an end to the mission of the ambassador accredited in Madrid by the authorities in Tripoli (Libya), because the Gadhafi regime has lost all legitimacy due to its continual repression of the Libyan population,” the statement said.
The Libyan ambassador to Madrid, Ajeli Abdussalam Ali Breni, “has 10 days to leave” Spain, the ministry said.
