Syrian diplomats expelled worldwide over massacre

BOSTON (MarketWatch)
Several of the world's most powerful nations are expelling Syrian diplomats from their soil in protest of the recent massacre of civilians in Syria's Houla region, CNN reported Tuesday Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the U.K. have all announced they plan to expel at least some, if not all, Syrian diplomats
About 108 people, mostly women and children, were reportedly killed in last Friday's massacre, which international human-rights observers believe is likely the work of militia groups supportive of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's embattled regime
Most of the victims are believed to have been either hacked to death or shot at close range
