The son of Osama bin Laden has in a newly emerged audio threatened revenge against the US for assassinating his father.
In the 21 minutes audio posted by Al-Qaeda titled”We Are All Osama,” Hamza bin Laden promised to continue the global militant group’s fight against the United States and its allies, per a report by the SITE Intelligence Group, an organisation that tracks white supremacist and jihadi organisations online.
“We will continue striking you and targeting you in your country and abroad in response to your oppression of the people of Palestine, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia and the rest of the Muslim lands that did not survive your oppression,” Hamza said.
He continued; “As for the revenge by the Islamic nation for Sheikh Osama, may Allah have mercy on him, it is not revenge for Osama the person but it is revenge for those who defended Islam.”
Hamza bin Laden who is said to now be in his mid twenties was by Osama’s side before the 9/11 attack on America—an atrocity which heightened America’s interest to eliminate the brain behind it.
After many months of hunt, Osama bin Laden was killed at his Pakistani hideout by US commandos in 2011 and since then Al-Qaeda has lost its notorious and vicious position to ISIS, another militant group currently operating in the regions of Iraq and Syria and other parts of Africa.
