Egypt court declares Palestinian movement Hamas ‘terrorist’

Saturday 28 February 2015

Since Egypt’s military ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in 2013, the authorities have accused Hamas of aiding jihadists who have waged a string of deadly attacks on security forces in the Sinai Peninsula.
