OSAMA Bin Laden’s SON has been killed after an execution operation by the US government.
Hamza bin Laden was dubbed the “Crown Prince of Jihad” and seen as the potential successor to his Al Qaeda leader dad, with a $1m reward offered for his capture offered by the US earlier this year.
The Sun reported that three US officials have confirmed intelligence of the 30-year-old’s death has been received in America.
The unnamed US officials haven’t yet provided details of where Hamza Bin Laden died, or whether the US was involved in his death.
New York Times sources said the US government had a role in the operation which killed him.
A State Department spokesman declined to comment.
Hamza bin Laden’s last public statement was through Al Qaeda’s public relations department in 2018.
Announcing the bounty in February, the US State Department had said it would pay out for any information leading to Hamza Bin Laden being identified or located.
The terror chief was believed to be in hiding in Pakistan, Afghanistan or possibly Iran – where he was reportedly placed under house arrest.
