A senior Hamas official has died in Gaza three weeks after shooting himself in the head in what officials described as an accident, the Palestinian Islamist group announced Tuesday. Imad al-Alami, a former member of Hamas's highest political body and its ambassador to Iran, died overnight, a Hamas statement said. Alami was wounded on January 9 while "inspecting his personal weapon in his home" in Gaza, Hamas said at the time.
