BEVERLY HILLS, July 10, (THEWILL) – Hamza Mohammed Awad Osama bin Laden, the son of the late Al Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden has threatened to avenge the killing of his father by the United States.
Osama was killed at his Pakistani hideout by US commandos in 2011, in a major blow to the militant group, which masterminded the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Brookings Institution revealed that Hamza 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 Qaeda’s senior leadership there, according to
In a 21-minute speech relayed via an audio message entitled ‘We Are All Osama,’ Hamza vowed to continue the global militant group’s fight against the US and its allies.
“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,” SITE Intelligence Group, an organisation that tracks white supremacist and jihadi organisations online, quoted him as saying.
“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.”
