Bin Laden son dead, officials say

Osama bin Laden’s son Hamza bin Laden, viewed as an eventual heir to the leadership of alQaida and who had repeatedly threatened to attack the United States, is dead, according to two U.S. officials. The U.S. government played a role in the operation that killed him, but it was not clear how, according to the officials, who discussed his death on the condition of anonymity. Hamza bin Laden was killed during the first two years of the Trump administration, officials said.
