FOX News has learned the Charge d’ Affairs of Syria, the highest ranking Syrian diplomat in the U.S. is being expelled. The action, a reaction to last week’s massacre of civilians.

Syria has not had an ambassador in the U.S. since late last year. The State Department’s action follows similar expulsions in several European nations, Canada and Australia.

The administration has been under increasing pressure to take a tougher stance on Syria, which intensified with the recent killings.

From Spain to Germany many European nations expelling Syrian ambassadors; Australia kicking out two diplomats
and Canada emptying the Syrian embassy in Ottawa.

This in outrage at the massacre in Houla, more than a hundred villagers dead, most shot at short range, says the UN.

Turkey today calling that shameful, telling Syria there is a limit to the world’s patience.
