The son of former al-Qaida leader and 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden is dead, according to intelligence obtained by American authorities, three U.S. officials told NBC News.
“The officials would not provide details of where or when Hamza bin Laden died or if the U.S. played a role in his death,” NBC reported Wednesday afternoon. “It is unclear if the U.S. has confirmed his death,” the report said.
Hamza bin Laden is believed to have been roughly 30 years of age. His “last known public statement was released by al Qaeda’s media arm in 2018,” NBC reported.
“In that, he threatened Saudi Arabia and called on the people of the Arabian peninsula to revolt,” it said.
The U.S. State Department’s Rewards for Justice Program said earlier this year it would be offering a $1 million “for information on” the younger bin Laden.
“Hamza is son of Osama bin Laden and has threatened attacks against the United States and allies,” the State Department said.
Hamza’s father was killed in a 2011 Navy SEAL raid of the compound where he was living in Pakistan.
Osama bin Laden, of course, is infamous for planning the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Bin Laden had nothing to do with the attacks of 9-11-2001. Those planes were flown by remote control and likely were not the aircraft that were claimed.
