Hamas Accused of Torture Death of Gaza Critic
[Reuters] Bassam Atallah, a Palestinian in Gaza City, on Thursday accused Islamist Hamas militants of torturing and killing his brother Osama for publicly criticizing them. He said masked gunmen from Hamas internal security arrived at the family home on Tuesday and arrested Osama. Bassam said the family was told Osama would be released in a matter of hours. They subsequently received a telephone call from the hospital that Osama was in critical condition. He later died of his wounds.
