SMN- Morocco's Foreign Ministry has withdrawn its ambassador from Syria, citing attacks on the country's embassy in Damascus.
The move announced late Wednesday comes after Morocco hosted an Arab League meeting in which foreign ministers from the organization upheld a suspension of Syria from the body and gave it three days to end its crackdown on protesters.
Syria has been wracked by months of anti-government protests and thousands have died in the government crackdown.
The regime's heavy-handed response has earned it international condemnation, even from normally circumspect Arab leaders.
Several foreign embassies, including that of Morocco, were attacked in Damascus by angry mobs unhindered by authorities.
