Tunisia expelled 253 Libyans, including diplomats, for spying, the government news agency reported. The move appeared to be in retaliation for Libya’s recent ouster of about 20,000 Tunisian migrant workers, reportedly for economic reasons. Tunisia charged that the Libyans were trying to set up networks to incite terrorism and sabotage, while under the cover of employment with diplomatic offices, a cultural center, the national airline and a Libyan school.
