Khaled Mashaal, head of the Hamas politburo, is seen in this March 1, 2008 file photo. Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is to meet Mashaal, the group's exiled leader, in Damascus, Syria, on Friday, April 18, 2008. During his visit to Israel earlier in the week, Carter said isolating Hamas is counterproductive and volunteered to serve as a conduit between the group and the U.S. and Israeli governments.
