WASHINGTON: Qatar plans to buy US Patriot missile batteries and Apache attack helicopters in a major arms deal worth about US$11 billion, senior Pentagon officials said on Monday.

The sale would provide Qatar with roughly ten batteries for Patriot systems designed to knock out incoming missiles, as well as 24 Apache helicopters and 500 Javelin anti-tank missiles, officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AFP.
