Only partially-related, but an interesting move by several Gulf states to terminate diplomatic ties with Qatar, on the basis that they are responsible for funding terrorism.

The Qataris have long been associated with this, though I've never really seen any comprehensive evidence to support it. Does such evidence exist, or are the Qataris merely being used a pawn, in the Saudi/Iran scrap over Yemen?

The latter seems a little unlikely, given there are several countries - a couple of whom rarely do the Saudi's bidding for them - who have followed-suit, so there is potentially some substance in this. Which begs the question: what does their evidence suggest, and who does it point towards?
