Abu Dhabiinfo-icon--A top security official in the United Arab Emiratesinfo-icon (UAEinfo-icon) has called on the Saudi-led coalition attacking Yemeninfo-icon since 2015 to bomb the Qatari mediainfo-icon network Al Jazeera. 

"The alliance must bomb the machine of terrorism ... the channel of Daesh, al-Qaeda, and the al-Nusra front, Al Jazeera the terrorists," Dubai security chief Dhahi Khalfan tweeted. 

The UAE is a partner in the bombing campaign against Yemen. It is also part of a Saudi-led bloc that cut ties with Qatarinfo-icon and imposed a blockade over the country in June.

In his diatribe, Khalfan blamed Al Jazeera for the Friday terror attack in Egyptinfo-icon's Sinai Peninsula that killed 305 people and injured 128 others.

"For how long will they [Al Jazeera] continue to tamper with the security of Egypt and the Arab worldinfo-icon?" he asked, blaming Al Jazeera for the assault.

No group has claimed responsibility for the Sinai attack but Egyptian officials have said the attackers were a group of 25-30 men who carried Daesh flags. 

Khalfan is known for making controversial remarks in the past, including calling on Arabs to unite with Israelinfo-icon, supporting USinfo-icon President Donald Trumpinfo-icon's travelinfo-icon ban against Musliminfo-icon countries, and urging Dohainfo-icon to decide against hosting World Cup 2022.

The Saudi-led bloc has presented Qatar with a 13-point list of steep demands, including its closure of Al Jazeera, before the countries restore ties.

Qatar has rejected the demands, denouncing them as interference in its internal affairs.
