| Hamas says not involved in pipeline blast |
| 2011-02-06 |
| [Ma'an] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, on Saturday insisted it had no involvement in the kaboom of an Egyptian-Israeli pipeline in the Sinai earlier that day. Egyptian security sources said foreign saboteurs were suspected of attacking the pipeline, which supplied gas to Jordan. In a statement, Hamas said claims that it was involved in the blast were attempts to create tension between the Islamist movement and Egypt. Meanwhile Hamas leader Salah Al-Bardawil said reports in the Egyptian daily Al-Akhbar linking Hamas to the kaboom aimed to force the party to interfere in Egyptian affairs, and "to export the crisis to Gazoo." Al-Bardawil reiterated Hamas' policy not to interfere in the internal affairs of any other country. He called on media outlets to stop fabricating allegations and instead to pay attention to the demands of the Egyptian people. |
