Washington (CNN)US investigators believe Russian hackers breached Qatar's state news agency and planted a fake news report that contributed to a crisis among the US' closest Gulf allies, according to US officials briefed on the investigation.
The FBI recently sent a team of investigators to Doha to help the Qatari government investigate the alleged hacking incident, Qatari and US government officials say.
Intelligence gathered by the US security agencies indicates that Russian hackers were behind the intrusion first reported by the Qatari government two weeks ago, US officials say. Qatar hosts one of the largest US military bases in the region.
The alleged involvement of Russian hackers intensifies concerns by US intelligence and law enforcement agencies that Russia continues to try some of the same cyber-hacking measures on US allies that intelligence agencies believe it used to meddle in the 2016 elections.
US officials say the Russian goal appears to be to cause rifts among the US and its allies. In recent months, suspected Russian cyber activities, including the use of fake news stories, have turned up amid elections in France, Germany and other countries.

CNN panel discussed need for US to provide leadership with our allies against the disruptive Russian activities, but that Trump WH will never go against Russia. Meanwhile Tillerson is speaking about wanting to find common ground with Russia and re-engaging with Russia, as if Russia was just a benign ally with good intentions.

So now we've now pissed off an ally who has a very essential US military base there. Putin then rushes in to side w/Qatar as their 'good friend' even though the trouble started because Russia hacked their news to stir crap up.
Anyone who thinks that Putin's Russian gov is in any way shape or form our 'friend' at this point is a damn ignorant fool or working with them.
I'm so darn pissed right now. That stupid POS Trump risked the lives of our service personnel, their families, etc in Qatar over this.
