SaudiArabia strips OsamaBinLaden's son of citizenship

BEIRUT - Saudi Arabia has stripped citizenship from Hamza bin Laden, the son of slain Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the interior ministry said in a statement published by the official gazette.

Hamza, believed to be about 30 years old, was at his father's side in Afghanistan before the Sept 11 attacks and spent time with him in Pakistan after the US-led invasion of Afghanistan pushed much of Al-Qaeda's senior leadership there, according to the Brookings Institution. He has called for acts of terrorism in Western capitals and threatened to take revenge against the United States for his father's killing, the State Department said in 2017 when it designated him as a global terrorist.
