A Tunisian official says the country has decided to expel Syria's ambassador in response to the "bloody massacre" in Homs.

A source in the presidential office says Tunisia no longer recognizes the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity Saturday, in line with government policy.
