Swedish PM Says Hamas Lawmaker Not Welcome
(Reuters) Swedish Prime Minister Goran Persson ruled out on Wednesday a visit by Hamas politician Salah al-Bardaweel, saying Sweden would not give him a visa because the EU brands the Islamic group terrorists. Persson said his country, which belongs to the 15-country European Schengen group where travelers can move without a passport, said Bardaweel was not welcome in Sweden. Sweden's foreign minister has earlier said that Hamas members were free to visit privately but would not meet government officials.
