France announced plans to expel 14 Libyan diplomats today, a day after Britain ordered two Libyan officials to leave. The French foreign ministry said the diplomats, who back Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, have been declared persona non grata. The ministry said they have been given up to 48 hours to leave France. France formally recognized Libya's rebel movement after anti-government unrest erupted in the country. Yesterday, British Foreign Secretary William Hague ordered the expulsion of two diplomats from Libya, saying their behavior had become unacceptable.
