U.S. Announces Death of Osama Bin Laden’s Son
According to the Independent, a statement issued by the White House said that the loss of Hamza bin Laden not only deprives al Qaeda of important leadership skills and the symbolic connection to his father, but undermines important operational activities of the group.
The White House did not immediately provide additional details, including the date of his death. It was previously reported on 31 July that he was killed in an airstrike.
The US State Department announced in February a $1m (£799,615) reward for information leading to his “identification or location”.
