"Washington (CNN)US investigators believe Russia<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">n 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.</span></p>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-family: inherit;" class="">"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.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-family: inherit;" class="">"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.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-family: inherit;" class="">"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."</p>
