US Intelligence report suggests Osama bin Laden's son Hamza is dead
New Delhi: Hamza bin Laden, son of slain al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, is dead, NBC News reported on Wednesday.
Quoting three US officials, the news report claimed that the United States has obtained intelligence that the son and potential successor of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, Hamza, is dead. Hamza bin Laden had a $1 million bounty placed on his capture by America in February.
It is unclear if the US has confirmed his death. The three officials did not provide details of where or when Hamza bin Laden died or if the US played a role in his death, NBC news reported.
In his last known public statement in 2018, which was released by al Qaeda's media arm, he threatened Saudi Arabia and called on the people of the Arabian peninsula to revolt.
According to the international body, Hamza bin Laden had been given a prominent role in al Qaeda, the group behind the September 11 attacks.
US Navy SEALS killed Osama bin Laden, who led al Qaeda, in 2011 during a raid on his Abbottabad, Pakistan compound. Hamza had escaped the attack in which his father and brother Khalid were killed.
