Hamas denies conducting contacts with USA
2004-03-08
Osama Hamdan, Hamas Movement representative in Lebanon, today denied presence of any contacts between his Movement and the American administration over assuming power in the Gaza Strip following the expected Zionist withdrawal.
"Well, I mean, maybe we sent them a note or something, but that's really not a contact, is it?"
Hamdan said that publishing such reports only aimed at inciting strife in the Strip. The Hamas leader stressed that an inter-Palestinian dialogue was a must in the upcoming stage in order to agree on a national working program and not just approving a truce. Asked on the Zionist escalation of aggressions and assassinations in lines of Palestinian resistance factions, Hamdan said that his Movement had adopted all necessary precautions in face of such a policy. He said that Palestinians should focus on agents who played a dangerous role in service of occupation.

#1  hmmmm, such news blips only influence the coming Paleo war, making one side appear to be a U.S. lackey, so I guess they do have a purpose (heh heh)
