A Palestinian official says Palestinian security forces in the West Bank seized $2.2 million in cash from Hamas in August.
The official says the money was taken in a crackdown on money laundering by the Islamic militants. He says that in one such scheme, Hamas uses West Bank traders importing goods from China. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' security forces have arrested scores of Hamas militants and closed Hamas-linked institutions. Israel has carried out a parallel campaign against Hamas. (AP)
