| Qatari police looking for al-Qaeda link to Doha bombing |
| 2005-03-20 |
| Police investigators were on Sunday searching for possible al-Qaeda links to a bomb attack in Qatar that killed one Briton and sent shockwaves across the tiny gas-rich Gulf state until now untouched by terrorists. The explosion on Saturday night at a theatre popular with expatriates coincided with the second anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Qatar is home to the US Central Command base from which the invasion and subsequent US military operations in Iraq have been co-ordinated. The attack was launched three months after a taped recording attributed to Osama bin Laden urged followers to step up attacks across the Gulf and follows a wave of violence in Kuwait in January. |
