Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani was appointed as Mudir of Al Wakrah by the Ottomans in place of Yusuf Bey in 1903.
This elicited protests by the British government, who refused the Ottoman's rights to appoint any administrative official in Qatar.
[1] From December 1907, there were a series of disputes between governor Abdulrahman bin Jassim and the Al-Buainain tribe.
As retribution, one of the tribe leader's sons attempted to shoot him.
His attempt was foiled, and he was imprisoned; however he was later procured forgiveness and released in return for the payment of the tax.
