Arab Websites Report On Failed Coup Attempt In Qatar
 Lemme know when Iran Press TV picks it up.Various Arab websites are reporting on the sudden firing of senior Qatari military officials after they staged a failed coup attempt. According to the report on the liberal Saudi website Alssiyasi, Qatar's chief of staff Hamad bin Ali Al-Attiya might also have been involved in the coup attempt. The Jordanian online daily Al-Haqiqa Al-Douliya noted that following the coup attempt, the Qatari Emir is considering reducing the powers of senior regime officials, including of the prime minister and foreign minister Hamad bin Jasem Aal Thani. After the Qatari chief of staff's visit to Iran early last month, the Elaph website reported on disagreement among top Qatari officials on foreign policy. Posted by: Steve White 2009-08-04 |
