Court in Egypt bans Palestinian group Hamas

A court in Egypt has banned all activities by the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas and ordered the seizure of its offices and assets. A lawsuit filed by an Egyptian lawyer had demanded the move because of its links to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Egypt's interim government designated the Brotherhood a terrorist group in December, five months after President Mohammed Morsi was ousted by the army. [...] Senior Hamas officials, including deputy political leader Moussa Abu Marzouk, live in Cairo and may now be at risk of arrest.
