Already Can't Get Along: Iraq and Jordan Withdraw Envoys

BBC Breaking News


Iraq has recalled its ambassador to Jordan in a tit-for-tat move following Jordan's earlier decision to pull its envoy out of Baghdad.
Jordan withdrew its charge d'affaires Damai Haddad saying that anti-Jordanian protests outside its Baghdad embassy had made it unsafe for him to remain.
Shia protesters say that Jordan had a role in a suicide bombing last month.
