Qatar has accused the United Arab Emirates of supporting the 9/11 attacks in New York as a diplomatic war of words between the tiny oil-rich state and its Sunni Arab neighbours continues.

“Emiratis, not Qataris, were among the hijackers who flew planes into the Twin Towers,’’ Sheikh Meshal bin Hamad Al Thani, Qatar’s ambassador to the U.S., said in an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal Sunday.

“The UAE was singled out in the 9/11 Commission’s report for its role in laundering money to terrorists.”
