Hamas "Salutes" Jeremy Corbyn as Fresh Links with Islamist Group Emerge
(Telegraph-UK) Harry Yorke - Hamas has pledged its support for British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn as more evidence emerged on Monday of his long-running links to the Islamist group. Corbyn is facing a fresh investigation into an undeclared trip to the West Bank in 2010, where he was pictured meeting senior Hamas officials. This follows the disclosure that Corbyn attended a conference in Qatar in 2012, where he was joined by Husam Badran, a former Hamas military leader sentenced to 17 years for his role in terror attacks which killed more than 100 people. Others present included Khalid Mishaal, the former political leader of Hamas, and Dr. Abdul Aziz Umar, who received seven life sentences for aiding in the preparation of a suicide belt.
