Bahrain says senior US official persona **n grata - BNA

[rss]

Bahrain on Monday declared a senior U.S. official persona **n grata and asked him to leave the kingdom immediately, state news agency BNA said, because he had "intervened flagrantly" in the country's internal affairs. BNA said that the foreign ministry had declared U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labour, Tomasz Mali**wski, persona **n grata after he "held meetings with a particular party to the detriment of other interlocutors, thus discriminating between one people, contravening diplomatic **rms and flouting **rmal interstate relations". Bahrain is a U.S. ally in a volatile region and has long provided a base for the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet. U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said she had heard the reports but said a team of diplomats, including Mali**wski, remained in Bahrain and were working with the government.
