New York Times report proves Qatar’s support of terrorism, says UAE’s Gargash
The UAE’s minister of state for foreign affairs Anwar Gargash said on Tuesday that a recent New York Times (NYT) report proves Qatar’s ties to terrorism, Arab News reported.
Earlier this month, the NYT said they obtained an audio recording “of a mobile phone conversation between the Qatari ambassador to Somalia and a businessman close to the emir of Qatar” about a terrorist attack in Bosaso in the north of Somalia.
In the conversation, the businessman, named Khalifa Kayed Al-Muhanadi, said he knew who was behind the attack, and that it was carried out to “advance Qatar’s interests by driving out its rival, the UAE.”
Gargash said the report “proves Doha’s ties to terrorism,” in a Tweet on Tuesday.
He said: “The recording is dangerous and can’t be denied without an investigation. The accusation of resorting to terrorism against the UAE is regrettable and justifies the four countries’ boycott of Qatar.”
