The American media reported that Hamza Ben Laden, the son of the founder of the al-Qaeda terrorist organization* Osama Ben Laden, who was killed in May 2011 , is also dead.
The American press refers to unnamed sources in the American administration, which received documentary evidence of his death. Now the White House is convinced that Hamza Ben Laden was really killed as a result of an operation in which the United States took part, NBC News writes.
The New York Times reports that the US intelligence was played by a certain role in this, and the operation itself was carried out under the administration of the current US President Donald Trump. When exactly this happened, it is not specified, but Trump's inauguration took place in January 2017. Thus, the operation to eliminate the youngest son Ben Laden was carried out over the past two years, but until recently there was no convincing evidence that he was really dead.

Earlier this year, the US State Department described Hamza Ben Laden, who, presumably, was more than thirty years, as a “outpatient” successor of his father in the Al-Qaeda terrorist group*. For information that would lead to the capture of Ben Laden USA, a reward of $ 1 million would be assigned. According to the US media, at the time of the declaration announcement, the liquidation operation has already been carried out, but Washington was not sure that Hamza Ben Laden was killed. With the help of remuneration, the United States hoped to receive confirmation of this.
The decision to provide a monetary reward was made after Hamza Ben Laden began to stir on the Internet sound and video materials calling for the followers of his father to wage war against Washington, London, Paris and Tel Aviv. He called this revenge for the murder of his father. Soon he took one of the key places in the hierarchy of Al-Qaeda*-on his right hand from her aging leader Aiman Al-Zavakhiri.
To Wednesday, the White House press service distributed Donald Trump's transcript, at which the US president refused to confirm to reporters whether the death of Hamza Ben Laden is true. “I do not want to comment on this,” Trump quoted TASS, who said to journalists he said before meeting with a visit to the United States, President of Mongolia, Khaltmaagy Battulga.
In total, Usama Ben Laden had three sons from Hairia Sabar, who lived with her husband in a complex in Abbottabad, not far from the Bolshaya Pakistani Military Base when he was killed. One of the sons was killed during the operation to seize his father, and the third son of the former head of Al-Qaeda* was not involved in terrorist activities.
According to the official Saudi newspaper "Um al-Kuru", Saudi Arabia, where Hamza Ben Laden was born, deprived him of citizenship.
Usama Ben Laden was destroyed by American special forces in Pakistan on May 2, 2011. The instruction to conduct this operation was given by Barack Obama, who at that time was the president of the United States.
