Sky News to air film on Qatar’s 9/11 links

abu dhabi — Sky News Arabia will broadcast a new documentary film on Wednesday, titled, “Qatar... The Road to Manhattan,” as part of the ‘Sky Documentaries’ series.

The documentary will be shown at 12.00am, and will address the reported relationship between Qatar and the mastermind of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and Qatar’s long-term support for him, including protection and financial assistance, to achieve his terrorist goals and plans.

It will highlight the hidden role of Qatar in supporting and financing terrorism, especially the support lent by the former Qatari Minister of Interior and Minister of Endowments, Abdullah bin Khalid Al Thani, to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The documentary will also expose Al Thani’s sympathy with the former leader of Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, and other terrorist groups.

The film will also address the attempts of US security agencies to arrest Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in Doha in 1996, and the rumours about Al Thani’s intervention to help him escape successfully from Doha and prevent US Intelligence from arresting him, which enabled him to advance his terrorist plans and execute the 11th September, 2001 attacks against the US. — Wam
