Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden’s son Hamza bin Laden is alive and running the terrorist organization founded by his father. A sensational report in the newspaper says that Hamza, along with his brother Abdullah bin Laden, is secretly running Al Qaeda from Afghanistan. The anti-Taliban military alliance, the National Mobilization Front (NMF), also presented a report detailing the operations of Hamza and his associates.
The Mirror quoted intelligence reports as saying that Hamza, dubbed the “Prince of Terror”, is hiding in northern Afghanistan under tight security of 450 snipers. The NMF has warned that since the Taliban’s capture of Kabul in 2021, Afghanistan has become a “training centre for different terrorist groups”.
450 Arabs and Pakistanis are protecting Hamza
It said, “Hamza bin Laden has been taken to the Dara Abdullah Khel district (in Panjshir) where 450 Arabs and Pakistanis are guarding him.” It warned that “on his orders, al Qaeda is regrouping and preparing for future attacks on Western targets.”
The NMF report refuted claims that Hamza was killed in a 2019 US airstrike. Hamza is believed to have worked closely with Ayman al-Zawahiri, who took over al Qaeda’s operations after Osama’s killing.
The news of Hamza’s death came after his audio and video messages calling for attacks on America and other countries were revealed.
America declared Hamza a global terrorist
However, according to an old BBC report, the place and date of his death were unclear. The Pentagon also did not comment on the issue.
Hamza bin Laden was officially designated as a global terrorist by the United States and was believed to be under house arrest in Iran.
He is believed to have been born in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, after which he spent several years with his mother in Iran.
Hamza’s father, Osama bin Laden, was killed by US special forces in a house in Abbottabad, Pakistan in 2011. Osama was the mastermind of the attacks on America on September 11, 2001, in which about 3,000 people were killed.
