| Arab states rap 'negative' Qatari reply to demands but announce no new sanctions Posted: 05 Jul 2017 01:13 PM PDT  By Ahmed Aboulenein and Karin Strohecker CAIRO/LONDON (Reuters) - Four Arab states refrained on Wednesday from slapping further sanctions on Qatar but voiced disappointment at its "negative" response to their demands and said their boycott of the tiny Gulf nation would continue. Qatar earlier in the day accused Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Egypt of "clear aggression" and said the accusations cited when they severed ties a month ago "were clearly designed to create anti-Qatar sentiment in the West". The four Arab nations accuse Qatar of supporting terrorism and allying with regional foe Iran - which Doha denies - and their foreign ministers met in Cairo on Wednesday after a deadline they gave Qatar to meet 13 demands expired.

Tuesday's launch -- acknowledged as an intercontinental ballistic missile by Washington -- marked a milestone in Pyongyang's decades-long drive for the capability to threaten the US mainland with a nuclear strike, and poses a stark foreign policy challenge for Donald Trump. The US president had dismissed the idea of the North possessing a working ICBM, vowing it "won't happen", but independent experts said the missile could reach Alaska or even further towards the continental US.
