'Hamas bomb factory' found in Nablus

Palestinian security officials say a suspected Hamas bomb factory has been uncovered in the West Bank town of Nablus.

Palestinian police raided the plant several days ago, seizing large quantities of chemicals.

At least four alleged supporters of the militant group have been arrested.

Hamas violently opposes the peace process with Israel and has carried out a series of deadly attacks against Israeli civilians.
