Qatar to invest 5 billion pounds in Britain over 3-5 years

Prime Minister Abdullah bin Nasser Al Thani announced the $6.3 billion investment at an investment forum in London. He said the outlay would come over the next three to five years through investment funds and other "relevant parties" in the Gulf Arab country, a major exporter of natural gas.
