Israel recalls 'naked ambassador'

Israel is replacing its ambassador in El Salvador after the envoy was found outside the embassy, drunk, wearing only bondage gear, officials said.
"Our ambassador has been recalled immediately," a foreign ministry official told AFP news agency.
San Salvador was Tzuriel Refael's first post as ambassador, after promotion in 2006 from a foreign ministry position.
The official said that, although diplomats may have caused embarrassment in the past, this was "the last straw".
