The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr. Anwar Gargash said that the report of the New York Times on the mediator and the Qatari ambassador in Somalia documents Doha's relationship with extremism and terrorism.
"In the Qatari crisis with its neighbors, the New York Times report on the mediator and the Qatari ambassador in Somalia documents Doha's relationship with extremism and terrorism," Gargash said in a tweet on the social networking site Twitter. "The registration is dangerous and can not be denied an urgent statement that has not been accompanied by an investigation."
He continued: «The charge of resorting to terrorism against the UAE an unfortunate escalation», pointing out that what happened confirms the correctness of the actions of the four countries.
The Qatari response to the recording, which proved its involvement in the bombings and terrorist operations in Somalia, was closer to "recognition" of "justification" and to the country's confusion in dealing with the various crises facing Doha.
The New York Times recently published details of the leaked registration that brought together Qatari businessman Khalifa Kayed al-Mohannadi and the Qatari ambassador to Mogadishu, Hassan bin Hamza Hashim.

"Al-Muhannadi does not represent Qatar and has no right to issue a comment on behalf of the government. Investigate what this person has done and will bear the consequences of the responsibility of his comments. "
The Qatari statement claimed that "Doha has requested a copy of the recordings published by the New York Times to support the American investigation of the newspaper, but this request was not accepted because of the editorial policies of the newspaper, and therefore the Office respects the policies of the newspaper, Actions in this regard ».

Although the response was an attempt to disavow the Qatari businessman, he did not deny that al-Mohannadi was close to the emir of Qatar. A news item published by the Indonesian media, when he was a member of the delegation that was accompanied by the Emir of Qatar to the Asian country.
