UAE ambassador confirms Qatar’s assistance Al-Qaeda

CAIRO – 20 July 2017: The United Arab Emirates has evidences that Qatar provides Al-Qaeda with information enabling them to target Arab forces in Yemen, Omar Ghobash, the U.A.E. ambassador to Moscow said in an interview to BBC channel.

He added that Doha has a strong relation with Al-Nusra Front, calling the international community to stand beside UAE in its procedures against Qatar’s funding of terrorism.

The UAE ambassador stated that this information was one of the reasons behind cutting ties with Qatar and asserted that Al-Qaeda depended on information from Qatar to commit four suicidal attacks against Emirates and Arab troops.

Doha provides Al-Qaeda with the precise location of the troops and their plans.

On June 5, 2017, several countries, including Egypt, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, severed diplomatic ties with Doha over accusations of Qatar backing and funding terrorist groups.
