osama bin laden’s son, hamza, who, at least as a figurehead, took over al-qaeda after his father was killed by the United States in 2011…
…has been killed by the United States.
From Evan Perez and Ryan Browne’s article at cnn.com:
President Donald Trump in a statement on Saturday said late al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden’s son Hamza bin Laden had been “killed in a United States counterterrorism operation in the Afghanistan/Pakistan region.”
He did not give a time period for the operation or the death.
“The loss of Hamza bin Ladin not only deprives al-Qa’ida of important leadership skills and the symbolic connection to his father, but undermines important operational activities of the group,” the President said in the statement.
Trump also said “Hamza bin Ladin was responsible for planning and dealing with various terrorist groups.”
While not as “successful” (if you define success as killing thousands of innocent people), hamza bin laden’s intent was exactly the same as his father’s.
Now the two of them can Rot In Hell together – soon to be joined, I hope, by the real “brains” behind this murderous hate group, ayman al- zawahiri and all of their likeminded pals.
