Sweden has expelled two Iraqi diplomats for what Swedish officials say were actions not consistent with their missions.

Sweden's Foreign Minister Bertil Jobeus said Wednesday that the diplomats were sent home earlier this month.

The Swedish newspaper Expressen identified the two as charge d'affaires Muhsen Muhsen al-Haidair and attache Abdul Kadir Hussein.

The newspaper said the diplomats were expelled for selling Iraqi passports to former Iraqi citizens who are now Swedish citizens.
