Qatar's foreign minister denies his country is supplying Syrian rebels with arms or funds to buy weapons, but says the United Nations should approve such support and consider creating a no-fly zone to protect civilians.
Khalid Bin Mohammad al-Attiyah said Friday during a visit to Tokyo that Qatar is providing rebels fighting Syrian President Bashar Assad with food and medicine, but the arms they need to fight Assad's well-equipped military would require UN approval and a no-fly or buffer zone. (AP)
