Earlier this year, the United States had offered a $ 1 million bonus to the son of former al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. According to Washington, Hamza bin Laden is no longer alive.
A son of al-Qaida founder Osama bin Laden, alleged leader of the terrorist network, was killed, according to US media reports. The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Hamza bin Laden was killed in a US-involving operation, citing two US government officials. Earlier, NBC News reported, quoting three government officials, that secret service information was available regarding the death of the 30-year-old man.
More specific information on the location and time of death was not provided. According to the New York Times, Hamsa bin Laden has been murdered in the past two years.
No official statement to date
US President Donald Trump declined to comment on request. "I do not want to comment," he told reporters at the White House.
In February, the United States offered a million dollar award for locating bin Laden's son. The latter had become "one of the leaders" of the al-Qaeda terrorist network, said the Foreign Ministry at the time. According to reports from the New York Times and NBC News, Hamza bin Laden may have died on that date.
Location Rumors
There have been rumors that Hamsa bin Laden has been hiding in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria or Iran. He was considered a possible successor of al-Qaeda leader Aiman al-Sawahiri.
The founder of al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, was found and killed by US special forces in his hiding place in Pakistan in 2011. Hamza bin Laden is the 15th of about 20 children of Bin Laden and the son of his third wife.
Hamza bin Laden is increasingly present in al-Qaeda propaganda in recent years. On the occasion of the 16th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001, for example, the terrorist network distributed a photomontage showing the faces of Osama and Hamza bin Laden in the flames of the World Trade Center in New York.
In 2015, Hamza Bin Laden called the Syrian jihadists in an audio message about the unity that would lead to the "liberation of Palestine". The same year, he threatened attacks in the United States, Europe and around the world to avenge the murder of his father. He also called for the overthrow of the monarchy in Saudi Arabia, the homeland of his family.
