Dubai Security Official General Dahi Khalfan: "Qatar Part of UAE"
Dubai Security Official General Dahi Khalfan: "Qatar Part of UAE" (Fars).
A top Dubai security official, General Dahi Khalfan, claimed Qatar as forming part of the United Arab Emirates, adding a new dimension to a dispute with Doha.
"Qatar is an integral part of the UAE," the outspoken Khalfan, a longtime critic of the Doha-backed Muslim Brotherhood, wrote on Twitter on Monday, demanding his country "reclaim" Qatar, AFP reported.
"We must put up signs on our borders with Qatar stating: 'You are now entering the UAE's eighth emirate,'" said Khalfan.
The UAE is a seven-member federation.
Leading up to the region's independence from Britain, Qatar and Bahrain in 1968 joined the Trucial States, as the UAE was then known, but their union fell apart three years later.
The Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain last month withdrew their envoys to Doha, accusing it of meddling in their internal affairs by supporting Islamists.
Qatar is a staunch supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, viewed by most conservative monarchies in the Persian Gulf as a threat to their grip on power.
Khalfan, who was Dubai's police chief before being promoted to second in command of security, has more than 600,000 followers on Twitter.
His comments on Qatar sparked a wave of controversy on the social network.
A Kuwaiti user compared him to former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, whose troops invaded Kuwait in 1990 calling it Iraq's 19th province.
