Turkey expels Israeli envoy in flotilla report row

ANKARA — Turkey expelled Israel's ambassador to Ankara and suspended all military ties with its one-time ally after a UN probe slammed the "excessive" force used in a raid that killed eight Turks on a Gaza aid flotilla.
A day after leaked extracts of the report into last year's commando raid appeared in the media, Turkey's foreign minister Friday announced a series of steps as a mark of protest but yet again failed to secure an Israeli apology.
Turkey pulled its ambassador out of Tel Aviv in the immediate aftermath of the raid and, speaking at a press conference in Ankara, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said ties would now be further downgraded.
