Moscow:  Russia on Monday said it was expelling two German diplomats in retailiation for similar expulsions by Germany.

Berlin last week expelled two Russian diplomats after a German court found Moscow had ordered the killing of a former Chechen militant, who was murdered in broad daylight in a Berlin park.

Russia denied any wrongdoing.
