'We'll consider talks if IDF stops mad attacks'

By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
A senior Hamas official said Tuesday that the group would consider talks on a cease-fire, if Israel first stopped its "mad attacks." "The aggression must stop so we can talk about a comprehensive cease-fire," said Ahmed Youssef, an aide to Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas. "The government is working on expanding the truce. This is a national interest."
