Canada expels remaining Libyan diplomats
Canada has ordered all remaining Libyan diplomats to leave the country within five days, officials said.
Canada has declared the diplomats personae non gratae, effective immediately.
The diplomats have five business days to vacate the Libyan Embassy in Ottawa and leave the country.
Canada is also cutting off the diplomats' access to the embassy's bank accounts.
Canada is part of the NATO mission enforcing a UN-sanctioned no-fly zone over Libya, AP reported.
