Two Cuban diplomats were kicked out of the Washington embassy by the State Department after a series of incidents forced U.S. officials in Cuba to return home with “a variety of physical symptoms,” State Department officials said Wednesday. The Cuban diplomats, meantime, were ordered to leave the U.S. on May 23, the officials said. She did not go into details but did say Cuba has been reminded of its obligation under the Geneva Convention to protect foreign diplomats. The Cuban government has assured the U.S. that it is looking into the reports and will take appropriate measures, officials said. The May decision to have the diplomats removed, Cuba claimed, was "unjustified and unsubstantiated."
