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."
