Hamas: no al-Qaida in Gaza but local zealots grow
Gaza's Hamas prime minister was adamant: There is no al-Qaida presence in Gaza, he said, rebuffing what he portrayed as Israeli allegations meant to justify military action against the territory.
At the same time, a new homegrown crop of zealots even if only inspired by the global terror network is increasingly turning into a problem for Gaza's ruling Islamic militants. (AP)
