Original title: US approves $300M guided missiles sale to Qatar.
The United States have just approved a $300m missile purchase form Qatar in the form”of 5,000 Advance Precision Kill Weapon Systems (APKWS) to Qatar, including 5,000 high explosive warheads.” This sale was a prior to the visit of the Qatari Emir, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. However, Qatar has been discovered and accused of funding fundamentalist groups throughout the middle east. In the last year, Saudi Arabia has issued a blockade on all trade and diplomatic missions. This sale is a problem for the Saudis, which may be the reason why when they arrived at the White House early last week, the state department approved a sale of 2 billion dollars in arms sales.
