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.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
