Thankfully the coup attempt in Qatar looks to have been short lived and a failure
Various Arab websites are reporting on the sudden firing of senior Qatari military officials after they staged a failed coup attempt.
According to the report on the liberal Saudi website Alssiyasi, Qatar’s chief of staff Hamad bin Ali Al-Attiya might also have been involved in the coup attempt.
The Jordanian online daily Al-Haqiqa Al-Douliya noted that following the coup attempt, the Qatari Emir is considering reducing the powers of senior regime officials, including of the prime minister and foreign minister Hamad bin Jasem Aal Thani.
While I’m not a fan of Monarchies, letting the radicals get ahold of this piece of land would be what most sane folks would call “A Bad Thing”.
