Libya expels correspondent over Reuters' 'anti-government bias'

Spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said the British journalist, Nick Carey, who arrived in Tripoli two and a half weeks ago, was asked to leave on Wednesday. He said the reason was that Reuters had been “deliberately anti-Libyan government” in its reporting.

Ibrahim said Carey was not expelled for a specific story. Other Reuters journalists remain in the Libyan capital, where foreign reporters operate under government restrictions. ■
