Saudi Arabia dismisses rumours of coup attempt

In Qatar, state-owned broadcaster Al Jazeera aired the unverified video in an attempt to spread the rumour that there was political unrest in the Kingdom, Bahraini Foreign Minister Khalid Bin Ahmad Al Khalifa said.

The minister wrote on Twitter: "Demand number 14: Al Jazeera needs to be taken to court for spreading lies and rumours that cause confusion in our countries."

Mr Al Khalifa was referring to the demands issued by the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt to Qatar in June 2017 after they severed their diplomatic ties with Doha, accusing it of supporting terrorism.
