Germany 'Regrets' Comments on Qatar Support for 'Islamic State'

Berlin, August 22 (QNA) - Germany's government has no direct evidence that Qatar is funding the so-called "Islamic State" (IS) group that operates in Iraq and Syria, Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Schafer said. "If there were misunderstandings, we regret these," Schafer told reporters in Berlin after Qatar contacted the German government over comments made by Development Minister Gerd Muller during a televised interview in which he said that cutting off funding to "IS" had the "keyword Qatar." Schafer described Qatar as an important partner for Germany but added that the two countries "are not always of the same opinion" on some issues. (QNA)
