This step is done following the diplomatic crisis between Qatar and the Persian Gulf, which blamed Doha, pointing any threat that can be caused due to Qatar's support to terrorism.

Not only Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain are also doing similar things.

Reported by Reuters on Tuesday (13/6), that statement was told by Saudi as a reaction to the statement from the head of Qatar Airways, Akbar Al Baker, who considered the action of withdrawing the flight permission and closing access for Qatar flight is violating the international law.

Al Baker has even appealed to International Civil Aviation Organization that is under the United Nations over the action that he considered as an illegal act.

Responding to the complaint, Al Baker, UAE Aviation Authority said they are still fully committed to the Chicago Convention that guarantees international civil aviation.

However, the UAE said, his country is still sovereign and has the right to take any prevention to protect its national security if needed.

Even so, reported by Al Jazeera, Abu Dhabi said, the closing does not apply to private airlines.

The private airline or charter flights flying from Qatar were still allowed to land or pass through a third country, by applying permitsat least 24 hours before the flight.

Nigerian army Claims the Second Rescue of Chibok Girl

A second schoolgirl that was seized in the Nigerian town of Chibok has been found, the army says. But a spokesman for the Chibok girls' parents has cast doubt on the claims, saying that the girl's name is not on the families' list of those missing. An army spokesman said Serah Luka was among a group of 97 women and children rescued by troops in the north-east. Islamist militant group Boko Haram has abducted thousands of other girls in recent years, rights groups estimate. This comes two days after the rescue of the first Chibok girl, Amina Ali Nkeki. The army has previously given misleading statements about the rescue of the Chibok girls - in its initial statement after Ms Nkeki was found, it used a wrong name. In all, 218 girls remain missing after their abduction by the Boko Haram Islamist group from Chibok secondary school in north-eastern Nigeria in 2014. Ms Nkeki told a Chibok community leader that six of the kidnapped girls had died, but...
