Venezuela Diplomat To Be Expelled Amid Iran Cyber-Plot Investigation | The U.S. labeled the Venezuelan consul general in Miami persona non grata and demanded she leave the country by Tuesday, according to reports. Expulsion of the consul general, Livia Acosta Noguera, comes after a documentary by the Spanish-language U.S. television station Univision alleging that she, while stationed in Mexico in 2007, spoke with computer experts about an Iranian cyber-plot against the U.S. The U.S. had said it was investigating the allegations, but a State Department spokesman declined to comment on specific causes for expelling the Venezuelan diplomat. Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad started a Latin American tour on Sunday.
