Hamza bin Laden, the son of former al-Qa’ida leader Osama bin Laden is now the most wanted man on earth, just like his father was before he was killed in 2011 by the Special US Fores.
The United States is offering a big reward (Sh100million) for anyone with information that would lead to his arrest.
Dubbed the “crown prince of jihad”, Hamza has been the subject of speculation for years with reports of him in Pakistan, Afghanistan or under house arrest in Iran.
In a statement, the U.S. State Department told the Mirror: “The Justice Program is offering a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to the identification or location in any country of al-Qa’ida (AQ) key leader Hamza bin Laden.
“Hamza bin Laden is the son of deceased former AQ leader Osama bin Laden and is emerging as a leader in the AQ franchise.
“Since at least August 2015, he has released audio and video messages on the Internet calling on his followers to launch attacks against the United States and its Western allies, and he has threatened attacks against the United States in revenge for the May 2011 killing of his father by U.S. service members.”
Last August it was revealed he had married the daughter of Mohammed Atta, the lead hijacker in the 9/11 terror attacks.
His family have said he has taken a senior position up within the terror network to avenge the death of his father, shot dead during a US military raid in Pakistan eight years ago.
