CAIRO, April 26 (UPI) -- Members of the Muslim Brotherhood questioned by Egyptian intelligence have said Hamas is trying to make drones to carry bombs, an Egyptian newspaper reported.
Al-Ahram said the detainees told interrogators they were working with Hamas, and that equipment and operatives with technical know-how have been moved to Gaza.
Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, said the story is "a big lie," the Jerusalem Post reported. He accused al-Ahram and other newspapers of a disinformation campaign aimed at the Palestinians.
A report by an Israeli research group said this month that Hamas had built up a fighting force of 20,000 men since Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, and that more weapons were smuggled into Gaza during the breach of the Rafah crossing in January.
