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.

23-year-old woman found dead at Delhi home; suicide suspected
New Delhi (PTI): A 23-year-old woman was found dead in her house in Delhi's Prem Nagar area, with police suspecting it to be a case of suicide, an official said on Tuesday.
The deceased, identified as Anjali Singh, was found motionless in her room on Monday by her sister and her neighbour.

According to the family, the room in which Anjali was found was locked from the inside. The door was later forcibly opened by a neighbour and her sister with the help of a crowbar.
Her body was found lying on the bed inside the room, police said.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that Anjali had allegedly hanged herself using a piece of cloth tied to the ceiling fan.
It is suspected that the noose eventually might have loosened or torn off, resulting in her being found lying on the bed.
Family members informed the police that Anjali was a final-year student of a librarian science course from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). About a week ago, her final-year examination results were declared, and she had failed, following which she had been under depression, they said.
The family has not raised any allegation of foul play, police said, adding that no suicide note or external injury marks were found on the body during the initial inspection.
Inquest proceedings have been initiated in the matter as per the law. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death, and further investigation is underway, police added.
