Qatar is part of UAE: Dubai security official

DUBAI: A top Dubai security official, General Dahi Khalfan, has claimed Qatar as forming part of the UAE.
“Qatar is an integral part of the UAE,” Khalfan, a longtime critic of the Muslim Brotherhood, wrote on Twitter, demanding his country “reclaim” Qatar.
“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.
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.
The UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain recently withdrew their envoys to Doha, accusing it of meddling in their internal affairs.
In another development, British Premier David Cameron said he had ordered an investigation into the Muslim Brotherhood over concerns that the group is linked to violent extremism. Egypt welcomed the British inquiry.
“What I think is important about the Muslim Brotherhood is to make sure we fully understand what this organization is, what it stands for, what its links are, what its beliefs are in terms of both extremism and violent extremism, what its connections are with other groups, what its presence is here in the United Kingdom,” Cameron told a joint press conference.
