Hamas Befriends Pakistani Terror Groups
[Hindustan Times-India] Vijay Dutt and Aloke Tikku - Hamas has sought alliance with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, two Pakistan-based groups involved in terrorist activities in India, the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera reported, saying ties were forged during the visit of a Hamas Palestinian minister to Pakistan this summer. Hizb-ul-Mujahideen's Sayyid Salah al-Din and LeT's Hafez Said, possibly with the help of Pakistani Intelligence, offered the Hamas representative a briefcase containing $2 million. The Palestinian minister also explored the possibility of strengthening "military relations" between the Hamas army and the Pakistan-based militants. Agreement was reached to allow the two Pakistani groups to go to West Asia (Syria and Lebanon) to learn new terror techniques. In addition, Palestinian "elements" will be allowed refuge in the Waziristan areas managed by the Pakistani groups, and there could be an exchange of information relating to the use of explosives and methods to smuggle them.
