HAMAS deny any link to so called weapons convoy in Sudan. Additionally, (this is interesting) HAMAS claim "if" there was an airstrike in Sudan, it was done to pressure Sudan over Middle East Conflict. Hmmmmmm.....
HAMAS Denies Link to Sudan Arms Convoy
Palestinian Islamic Hamas movement on Saturday denied any link to a weapon convoy which was said to be en route to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip but was bombed in Sudan.
"It is ironic to link this convoy with Hamas though we're still unsure if there was a convoy bombed by airplanes," said Salah al- Bardaweel, a Hamas lawmaker in the Gaza Strip.
It was reported that American or Israeli fighter jets struck at an arms convoy in a remote area in Sudan in late January, and the weapons were supposed to be transported to the Gaza Strip via Egyptian territories.
"If this airstrike is true, it would be a political act by Israel and the U.S. aiming at putting pressure on Sudan," al- Bardaweel added.
The United States has conducted an airstrike against arms smugglers last January, killing scores of people, the Paris-based Sudantribune website reported on Wednesday.
Sudanese State Minister for Highways, Mabrouk Mubarak Saleem, was quoted as saying that a "major power bombed small trucks carrying arms, burring all of them."
