Qatar seems to be preparing its population of nearly 2 million for new leadership, with the emir and prime minister apparently ready to step down.
The tiny country, the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, is a global investment powerhouse, a growing force in international media and sport, and a financial backer of Arab Spring
revolts.
The Qatari-owed al-Jazeera television channel said the emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani,
61, would meet ruling family members and decision makers on Monday "amid
reports that he intends to hand over power to his crown prince, Sheikh
Tamim".
The satellite channel said it had learned of the news from "reliable Qatari sources", but provided no further details.
