Qatar plans to reform its security apparatus in wake of an attempted coup in the emirate. Qatari officials said the reform would result in a new security agency that would replace existing organizations. The agency would come under the direct supervision of Qatari Emir Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani. The emir has decreed the establishment of the new state security agency. The decree said the agency would be independent of other government bodies and come under the direct control of the emir. The official Qatari news agency reported that the law, termed No. 5, sets out the responsibilities of the new security body. The agency said the new unit would replace existing security and intelligence organizations.
| Those would be the ones the Islamists were trying to riddle. Only problem now will be keeping them out of the new one. The emir doesn't seem to have been amused at the Soddies for trying to throw him out. |
