Expelled Iraqi diplomats leave Amman

The seven Iraqi diplomats expelled by the Jordanian authorities have left Amman for Baghdad.

Jordan ordered the seven out and recalled its senior representative in Baghdad as a diplomatic dispute developed after Iraq executed four Jordanians convicted of smuggling car parts.

Jordan has said it's not seeking to create a crisis in relations because of its strong criticism over the incident.

Iraq has said that despite the new row, it will continue to supply oil to Jordan.
