He’s Osama bin Laden’s son, the husband of 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta’s daughter — and now Public Enemy No. 1 to the State Department, which just put a $1 million bounty on him.
Hamza bin Laden is emerging as a powerful key leader of al Qaeda, bringing his father’s cutthroat cachet and a youthful energy to the terror network his dad once led — and prompting US authorities to try to cut him off at the pass.
The State Department this week announced the reward for help in hunting Hamza down, calling him “a specially designated global terrorist” and dangling the cash under its Rewards for Justice program.
Experts say the 30-something militant, once dubbed the “Crown Prince of Terror,” has been groomed for the deadly role his whole life.
“He’s basically born right after al Qaeda is founded, so his life is totally consumed in the establishment, the formation of al Qaeda and the launching of its war against the West and America,” Thomas Joscelyn, of the Washington, DC-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told The Associated Press.
Hamza, one of his father’s estimated 26 children, sought Dad’s approval from a young age and wanted bin Laden to make him the network’s heir apparent.

This little bastard was here in the USA on 911, and Bush flew him, and his family out to safety after the attack.
ReplyDelete734-Hamza has never been in the US.
ReplyDeleteand this ladies and gentlemen is why you need to take out whole generations of the vermin! leave none left to pick up their banner!
ReplyDeleteJust like Bin Laden 1, they must know he's already dead. This will allow a false terror attack followed by a whole new series of wars marching around the world looking for someone they are guaranteed never to find. I'm sure President Michelle Obama along with her VP Chelsea Clinton will command the seal team that "kills" Hamza and that the seals involved will have a little accident shortly after.
