US kickining out 60 Russian diplomats; To close Russia's Seattle consulate

The United States is kicking out 60 Russian diplomats, for gathering information, NY Daily News reported.
More than a dozen European nations also kicked out Russian diplomats over accusations Moscow tried to kill an ex-spy living in England.
Senior officials wanted the actions to tell the Kremlin “when you attack our friends, you will face serious consequences.”
A dozen staffers at Russia’s mission to the United Nations in New York acted as spies, officials said, and abused their privileges.
Those 12 Russians and another 48 embassy employees now have a week to leave the U.S.
Russia’s consulate in Seattle will also be closed because it's close to a submarine base and a Boeing plant, the White House said.
