Qatar releases initial report into alleged hack at state media
Qatar,now facing a diplomatic crisis with other Arab nations, is a small country with a big history of turmoil.
Dubai, June 8: Qatar has released an initial report into the alleged hack of its state-run news agency, an incident which helped spark a diplomatic crisis between the energy-rich country and Arab nations.
The Qatari Interior Ministry on Wednesday said that 'the website of the Qatar News Agency was initially hacked in April with high techniques and innovative methods."
It said that "hackers installed a file and then published a fake news item attributed to Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, just after midnight May 24."
The ministry did not say who it suspected carried out the attack. It also thanked the FBI and the British National Commission for Combating Crime for assisting it in its investigation.
The alleged fake news item, which had Sheikh Tamim making controversial comments on Iran and Israel, immediately was picked up by Saudi and Emirati media, laying the groundwork for the crisis that began Monday.
