Egyptian Court Declares Hamas a Terrorist Group 
------------------------------------------------


 
An Egyptian court has upheld a decision that deems the Palestinian group
Hamas a terrorist organization. The move will further strain ties
between Egypt and Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip on Egypt's northern
border. Hamas has called the decision "shocking and dangerous." Hamas
could react by no longer accepting Egypt as a broker with Israel, a role
it most recently played during the assault on Gaza last summer.
