UK: Russia expels two US embassy staff for 'illegal activity'
LONDON, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Russia said on Thursday it was expelling two U.S. diplomats whom it accused of working with a Russian national charged with collaborating with a foreign state.
The Foreign Ministry said in a statement it had summoned U.S. envoy Lynne Tracy and told her that embassy First Secretary Jeffrey Sillin and Second Secretary David Bernstein must leave Russia within seven days.
The U.S. embassy confirmed the expulsions. There was no immediate comment from the State Department in Washington.
