Palestinian Prime Minister in Gaza Strip, Ismail Haneiyah greets the top Hamas armed commander Ayman Nofal upon his arrival to his home in Nusairat refugee camp in the Central Gaza strip, Sunday , Feb. 6, 2011. The Palestinian militant group Hamas says one of its members has escaped from a prison in Egypt where he was accused of plotting bomb attacks. Ayman Nofal escaped last week during the anti-government unrest gripping Egypt and made his way into the sealed Gaza Strip through a smuggling tunnel under the border on Saturday. He was greeted by a celebratory crowd, some of whom fired shots in the air.Hamas says Nofal was arrested in 2008 in Egypt but denies he was plotting bomb attacks there. A Hamas official did not say how Nofal escaped. He spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue. Egypt's government is wary of the Islamic militants of Hamas, having battled for years against local militants Photo by Ashraf Amra
