Bin Laden鈥檚 son vows revenge on the US
Print Edition
THE son of slain al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has threatened revenge on the United States for assassinating his father, according to an audio message posted online.
Hamza bin Laden promised to continue the militant group’s fight against the US and its allies in a 21-minute speech entitled “We Are All Osama,” according to the SITE Intelligence Group.
“We will continue striking you and targeting you in your country and abroad in response to your oppression of the people of Palestine, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia and the rest of the Muslim lands that did not survive your oppression,” Hamza said.
“As for the revenge by the Islamic nation for Sheikh Osama, may Allah have mercy on him, it is not revenge for Osama the person but it is revenge for those who defended Islam.”
Osama bin Laden was killed at his Pakistani hideout by US commandos in 2011 in a major blow to the group which carried out the 9/11 attacks.
Hamza, now in his mid-20s, was at his father’s side in Afghanistan before the 9/11 attacks and spent time with him in Pakistan after the US-led invasion pushed much of al-Qaida’s senior leadership there, according to US think tank, the Brookings Institution.
“Hamza provides a new face for al-Qaida, one that directly connects to the group’s founder. He is an articulate and dangerous enemy,” said Bruce Riedel of Brookings.
