Hamas says does not plan to quit Syria

Hamas said on Saturday it does not plan to move its headquarters out of unrest-hit Syria. "There is no change, and Hamas has not taken any decision to leave Syria, and we are still there," spokesman Fawzi Barhum told AFP.

He said the constant travels to Arab states of the movement's Damascus-based chief Khaled Meshaal and other officials were aimed at consolidating Arab support for the Palestinian cause and inter-Palestinian reconciliation. (AFP)
