Hamas "Mother of Martyrs" Runs in Palestinian Poll

From Reuters:

Mariam Farhat, 56, an icon of the Palestinian uprising - three of her sons died fighting Israel - will join a Hamas slate to contest a legislative election in January.

Hamas's choice of Farhat is seen by Palestinian analysts as a sure vote-winner.

Hamas is sworn to Israel's destruction.

Perhaps Reuters has not read the three recent AP stories whitewashing Hamas as running a "clean-government campaign."
