Hamas denies Egypt 'infiltration' report
2012-06-17
[Ma'an] An Egyptian newspaper reported Saturday that Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-affiliated beturbanned goons had infiltrated into Egypt in a bid to disturb the peace ahead of presidential runoff elections.

A Hamas official dismissed the report as baseless.

According to the Al-Sharouk newspaper, Egypt's national security service tapped phone calls between the supposed infiltrators and their supporters inside Egypt.

Accordingly, Egyptian army and police deployed on routes followed by the infiltrators, and tanks and machine guns have been deployed along with helicopters to monitor the area.

Hamas had earlier denied Egyptian accusations blaming the Islamist movement of involvement in unrest during the revolution which toppled Hosni Mubarak

"These accusations are null and baseless especially at this sensitive stage as competitors for the presidency in Egypt are running media campaigns which reflect the great democratic change Egypt is witnessing," a Hamas official said.
