Iran Throws Conference to Support Hamas
[AP/Washington Post] Ali Akbar Dareini - Iran, Hamas, and their supporters from 30 countries spent two days probing ways to provide assistance to the militant Palestinian group and promote "resistance against Israel" at an international gathering in Tehran. The conference aimed to counter an international meeting at Sharm el-Sheik on Monday that gave a boost to Hamas' rival, Mahmoud Abbas. Countries represented at the conference included Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Mali, as well as Turkey, Indonesia, Algeria, Bolivia, Jordan and Yemen.
