Qatar officially labels Daesh-Sinai group in Egypt a terrorist body
[AlAhram] Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
has designated the ISIS-Sinai group a terrorist organization.

The Qartari National Committee to Combat Terrorism also designated seven other groups active in Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic...
and Qatar as terrorist organizations.

The list is the first published by the committee following a decree issued by the country's Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani in July 2017.

The list includes 19 people: 11 Qataris, two Saudis, four Egyptians and two Jordanians.

The Egyptian individuals on the list are Ahmed Samir El-Habib El-Teneger, Dahi Mohammed Mostafa Senger, Ahmed Eid Salem El-Hegawi and Hassan Saad Shetewi.

The ISIS affiliate in North Sinai, formerly known as Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, has grabbed credit for dozens of deadly terrorist attacks against security forces and civilians in the governorate, killing hundreds.

The Egyptian military has said it has killed hundreds of the group’s members in military operations in recent years.

Earlier, the military launched a major operation earlier this year to target "terrorist and criminal elements and organizations" in northern and central Sinai, as well as parts of the Nile Delta and the Western Desert.

Egypt, Soddy Arabia

, Bahrain and the UAE severed diplomatic and transport links with Doha on 5 June 2017, accusing Doha of supporting terrorism and meddling in their internal affairs, sparking the region's worst diplomatic dispute in years. Doha has denied the accusations levelled against it.

In recent months, several diplomatic efforts have taken place to resolve the lingering diplomatic row and support mediation efforts mainly by Kuwait and the US.

The four states have repeatedly said they are ready for dialogue to ease the dispute if Doha shows a willingness to deal with their demands and stop its "hostile" policies in the region.

Egypt accuses the Gulf Arab state of supporting "terrorist" organizations, including the Moslem Brüderbund, which is designated in Egypt a terrorist organization.

Earlier this month, Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry reiterated to Timothy Lenderking, the US deputy assistant secretary of state for Gulf affairs, and General Anthony Zinni, a retired former head of U.S. Central Command that Qatar should abide by the 13 demands listed by the four countries, including shutting down the al-Jazeera television channel and downgrading relations with Iran.

Shoukry said Qatar has yet to "prove goodwill" despite regional and international efforts to end the dispute.

He expressed the concerns of Egypt and other boycotting states over Qatar's "continued negative role in sponsoring terrorism and extremism" by providing financial aid and refuge to murderous Moslems.

The diplomatic rift is the worst dispute in decades between Arab states.
