My favorite part of the story is this:

"Reports say he was able to identify himself to police only after a rubber ball had been removed from his mouth."

I don't understand either... but I like the part about his behaviour being 'unbecoming of a diplomat'... So diplomats aren't allowed to be freaky? Count me out...
