U.S. Concerned about Turkey Hosting Hamas Leader
(Zaman-Turkey) U.S. officials have expressed concern to senior Turkish officials about Hamas leader Khaled Mashal's visit to Turkey over the weekend. On Tuesday, U.S. Department of State Press Office Director Jeff Rathke said: "Hamas is a designated foreign terrorist organization. Hamas continues to engage in terrorist activity and demonstrated its intentions, among other times, during this summer's conflict with Israel. And we continue to raise our concerns about the relationship between Hamas and Turkey with senior Turkish officials, particularly after learning about Khaled Mashal's recent visit there."
