Egypt: "Positive" progress in Hamas talks

Cairo - The Egyptian government said Monday that it had made progress in its talks with the militant Palestinian Hamas organization, the official MENA news agency reported. A meeting between Egypt's secret service chief Omar Suleiman and a delegation from Hamas in Cairo on Sunday had been 'positive,' the agency quoted a government official as saying. Suleiman reiterated the key points of the proposal put forward by Egyptian President Hosny Mubarak: an immediate ceasefire, a new truce with Israel and a reconciliation between Hamas and the Fatah movement of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The talks between Suleiman and the Hamas delegation headed by Emad al-Alami were expected to continue on Monday.
