Palestinian groups Hamas, Islamic Jihad condemn Paris attacks

Two Palestinian Islamist groups on Saturday condemned the Paris attacks that killed at least 128 people, officials in both organisations said.

Senior figures in both Hamas, considered by the US and EU to be a "terrorist" group, and Islamic Jihad criticised the killings that rocked the French capital late Friday.

Dr Bassem Naim, head of the Council of International Relations for Hamas, told AFP the group condemned "the acts of aggression and barbarity", while Islamic Jihad condemned "a crime against innocents".
