warning for Americans working or traveling to Qatar to stay stay away from hotels and malls due to extremists threats, especially after Ramadan.

First time I have gotten one of those since I have been here.

To my friends in Doha! Keep an eye out!

1. Aside from all the American contract workers in Doha, why would ISIS attack Qatar?

Wasn't Qatar the first state to commit special forces, arms and air strikes to aid the Eastern Libyan Islamists and to al-Nusra in Syria to overthrow those regimes? http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970204002304576627000922764650

Didn't these groups aided by Qatar morph into ISIS? http://www.ibtimes.com/jabhat-al-nusra-isis-alliance-could-spread-beyond-damascus-1877819

Isn't Qatar today still the largest external funding source to ISIS? http://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/view/qatar-and-isis-funding-the-u.s.-approach ; http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/08/world/middleeast/qatars-support-of-extremists-alienates-allies-near-and-far.html?_r=0

Why bite the hand that feeds them?
