CAIRO - Qatar will nominate one of its key diplomats to succeed Amr Moussa, the Egyptian Secretary General of the 22-member Arab League (AL), whose term ends on May 15 as he intends not to seek a new term, Egypt's official Middle East News Agency (MENA) reported. "Qatar will nominate Abdulrahman al-Attiyah, the outgoing secretary general of the Gulf Cooperation Council, to succeed Amr Moussa as the organsiation chief," MENA quoted an Arab diplomat as saying. The diplomat added that Qatar would also offer a proposal to the upcoming Arab summit in Baghdad to circulate the post of the AL secretary general among the member states. Since the creation of the Arab League in 1945, it was conditioned that the secretary general should be an Egyptian national. Only in 1979 when the headquarters of the league was relocated to Tunisia, el-Shazli el-Quleibi, a Tunisian diplomat, took the post.
