AMMAN, Jordan (Ma'an) -- Exiled Hamas chief Khalid Mashaal met Saturday with Muslim Brotherhood leaders in Jordan, after the movement threatened to boycott upcoming Jordanian elections in protest of a new voting law.
Mashaal met with party leaders at the home of Jordanian Brotherhood chief Hammam Said in Amman, Jordanian daily Al-Ghad said.
While Brotherhood leaders refused to discuss the meeting, Al-Ghad said the summit discussed whether the Brotherhood's political party, the Islamic Action Front, will participate in the poll later this year.
The meeting came the day after the Brotherhood participated in the funeral of a Hamas leader killed in Damascus was held in Jordan, and as Egypt Muslim Brotherhood candidate Muhammad Mursi was sworn in as the country's first Islamist president. more
