This was first reported a while ago but it has finally been confirmed to the public.
A statement from the White House said: “Hamza bin Ladin, the high-ranking al-Qa’ida member and son of Usama bin Ladin, was killed in a United States counter-terrorism operation in the Afghanistan/Pakistan region.
“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.
“Hamza bin Ladin was responsible for planning and dealing with various terrorist groups.”
The high-ranking al Qaeda figure was rumoured to have been killed in August.
Here’s a report from a month ago:
Well, God bless America.
