The White House has confirmed the death of Hamza bin Laden, son of slain al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and himself a notable figure in the group.
The New York Times also reported that the US had a role in the operation that led to his death, which it said had taken place in the last two years.Saturday’s confirmation came three days after the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks – masterminded by Osama bin Laden – in which nearly 3,000 people were killed.In February, the US government put a $1m reward on Hamza bin Laden’s head, saying the man sometimes dubbed the “crown prince of jihad” was “emerging as a leader in the al-Qaeda franchise”.
US forces also found a video of the younger bin Laden’s wedding to the daughter of another senior al-Qaeda official. He is thought to have been 30 years old at the time of his death.
