Reuters: Qatar summons U.S. envoy over video of soldiers laughing near flag
Qatar, which hosts the largest U.S. air base in the Middle East, summoned the U.S. ambassador on Thursday over an online video of American soldiers possibly showing disrespect for the nation's flag, and the Pentagon expressed its regrets.
The Qatari foreign ministry said it had "summoned the American ambassador ... over a video which was recently circulated on social media. She was asked for an explanation of the contents of that video."
The clip shows two uniformed U.S. soldiers, a man and a woman, speaking into camera and joking in front of a U.S. and a Qatari flag.
