Hamas says Carter visit a boost to militants' legitimacy
By The Associated Press
[...] "In Cairo, Hamas spokesman Taher Nuhu told The Associated Press that the purported Thursday meeting would be 'a recognition of the legitimacy' of Hamas' victory in the Palestinians' parliamentary election in 2006.
'We do not claim we are the only legitimate group there, but we are an integral part whose legitimacy was manifested in the elections,' Nuhu said."
