DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Qatar's ruling emir said Tuesday his
small, energy-rich nation will hold a referendum on ending a short-lived
experiment in electing members of the country's advisory Shura Council.
Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani offered no immediate timeline for the
referendum in an annual address to the Shura Council, which drafts laws,
approves state budgets, debates major issues and provides advice to the ruler.
