(AFP) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority has accused Hamas of carrying out the bomb attack against the convoy of cabinet leader Rami Hamdallah in Gaza last week. Hamdallah was unhurt but a number of his bodyguards were wounded.
Abbas had previously said the Islamist group was responsible as it controls security there, but speaking to PA leadership on Monday evening said they were "behind the attack". He said he would take "national, legal and financial measures" against
Hamas in response.
