'$1 BILLION ransom paid to Al-Qaeda to free kidnapped Qatari royals sparked Gulf diplomatic crisis and prompted fury among its Arab neighbours who accuse the country of funding terror'

    Qatar 'paid Iranian and Al Qaeda-linked forces to release hostages' held in Iraq
    Members of Qatar's royal family were among the hostages caught while hunting
    The falcon hunters were kidnapped by jihadis in southern Iraq in December 2015
    The hefty ransom was a 'tipping point' for Qatari-Gulf Arab relations, officials say
    Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain cut diplomatic relations with Qatar on Monday over alleged support for Islamists
    Yemen, Libya's eastern-based government and the Maldives joined in later

Meanwhile the Saudis themselves will continue to fund radical mosques in the USA.

It's made worse by the fact that the entire episode was orchestrated in order to give the Qatar Royals cover for their donation!
