US expels Russians after Moscow diplomat attack

(9 Jul 2016) The United States last month expelled two Russian officials in response to an attack on an American diplomat by a Russian policeman in Moscow, the State Department said on Friday, in a development that was sure to further strain already tense bilateral relations.
The officials were expelled June 17th, department spokesman John Kirby told reporters.
Kirby said the American was attacked June 6th by a Russian guard outside the US Embassy compound.
Kirby said the attack was "unprovoked and it endangered the safety of our employee."
The Russian Foreign Ministry claims the American was a CIA agent who refused to provide his identification documents and hit the guard in the face.
Moscow says the policeman was fulfilling his duties defending the embassy.
Kirby disputed those statements.
