The U.S. State Department informed the Lebanese Embassy in Washington that it had decided to declare Ibrahim Sharara, the Lebanese consul in Detroit, persona non grata and require him to leave the country within 48 hours. The decision came amid controversy over old posts attributed to him that praised the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut.
