To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what reports he has received about links between Qatar and (a) Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and (b) other members of al-Qaeda. [134632]

Qatar faces a terrorist threat from al-Qaeda and associated groups, like other countries in the region and elsewhere. It has played a constructive role in the international co-operative effort against terrorism and we have a regular dialogue with the Qatari government on the subject. Our policy is not to make public the details of such dialogue.
