PARIS/ABU DHABI (Reuters) - Qatar has called on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to intervene in a dispute over a $24 billion (£18.1 billion) nuclear power plant which the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is building.

Relations between Qatar and its neighbour are already strained after the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Bahrain severed diplomatic, trade and transport ties with Doha in June 2017 over allegations that it supports terrorism, a charge Qatar denies.
