 | | Qatar for its part accuses Riyadh of involvement in an attempted coup in 1996. | | | Most of the defendants were from Qatar, but a Saudi national has been sentenced to death, a Tanzanian sentenced to life in prison in absentia and a Palestinian acquitted of the charges against him. | | | The government says that the former emir of Qatar, Sheikh Khalifa ibn Hamad al-Thani, who was deposed by his son in 1995, instigated the coup with foreign assistance. |

| | History of Qatar |
| | Although Qatar supported Iraq in the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-88, it subsequently improved its relations with Iran, undoubtedly in part because of its shared gas field. | | | As a GCC member, Qatar sent forces against Iraq in the 1991 Persian Gulf War but continued to maintain a diplomatic link with Iraq. | | | Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates have assumed added prominence as a result of Operation Desert Shield in 1990 and the Persian Gulf War in 1991. |
