UAE ambassador to America denies The Washington Post charges
The UAE ambassador in Washington, Yousif al-Otaiba, denied Washington Post report which said that the UAE organized a breach of official Qatari media websites.
The ambassador described the Washington Post report as a "liar" and said in a statement that quoted by the daily that the United Arab Emirates "had no role in the alleged breach the article talked about."
"The reality is Qatar's actions, financing, supporting and empowering Taliban extremists to Hamas and Qadhafi, inciting violence, encouraging extremism and undermining the stability of its neighbors, he added.
The Washington Post reported, quoting US intelligence officials, that the UAE was behind the infiltration of Qatari government media websites and published a false statement attributed to the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani.
It is noteworthy that a statement attributed to the Emir of Qatar was published through the Qatari agency "Qena" on 24 May , and then the agency omitted the statement, and announced a breakthrough by the Hackers.
A few days later, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt cut ties with Qatar, accusing it of supporting terrorism and destabilizing the region.
Qatar's foreign minister, Mohammed bin Baz al-Rahman al-Thani, announced on July 14 that the boycott states had created the crisis, describing it as "based on fabrications."
