Mashaal urges Cairo meeting as part of reconciliation talks

Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal said Sunday that the reconciliation between the Palestinian factions was within reach.

During a speech in Damascus in memory of the Islamist movement's senior official Mahmoud al-Mabhouh who was killed last week in Dubai, Mashaal sent a strong message to Egypt saying that reconciliation would be achieved as soon as a meeting is set up in Cairo. (AFP)
