In a statement on Monday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated the State of Qatar's firm position of rejecting violence, terrorism and criminal acts, regardless of the motives and reasons.
Earlier, Saudi state television reported that Saudi-led coalition battling Yemen's Houthi movement had thwarted an attack towards the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh on Saturday.
