An Egyptian court on Saturday quashed a February decision by another tribunal branding the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas a "terrorist" group

An Egyptian court on Saturday quashed a February decision by another tribunal branding the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas a "terrorist" group, a court official said.
  
He told AFP that the earlier ruling was thrown out because the court that issued it was not "competent" to make such verdicts.
  
Egyptian authorities have accused Hamas of backing militants who have carried out deadly attacks on security forces in the Sinai Peninsula that borders the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.
