Qatar said on Saturday that Turkey has arrested five people in connection with the alleged hack of Doha’s State news agency, an incident which sparked the current Gulf political crisis.
The arrests were announced by Qatar’s most senior legal figure, Attorney General Ali bin Fetais al-Marri.
“Our friends in Turkey answered us a short time ago,” he said in comments published by the Qatar News Agency (QNA).
“Five people were arrested and they are being investigated. The prosecutors in Qatar are working with the Turkish authorities to follow the case.”
The nationality of the suspects was not given.
