Hamza bin Laden may indeed be dead, but jihad leaders have disappeared for long periods and been reported dead before. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was killed at least four times, every year between 2014 and 2017.

Hamza’s father was also thought by many to be dead when he went over a year without being heard from. Then he popped up again.
“Osama bin Laden’s son and heir, Hamza, is dead, U.S. officials say,” by Courtney Kube, NBC News, August 1, 2019:
WASHINGTON — The United States has obtained intelligence that the son and potential successor of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, Hamza bin Laden, is dead, according to three U.S. officials.
The officials would not provide details of how Hamza bin Laden died or if the U.S. played a role in his death. The death occurred some time in the past two years, said the officials, but confirmation came only recently.
Asked by reporters on Wednesday whether the U.S. had intelligence that Hamza is dead, President Donald Trump said, “I don’t want to comment on that.”
Hamza bin Laden’s last known public statement was released by al Qaeda’s media arm in 2018. In that message, he threatened Saudi Arabia and called on the people of the Arabian peninsula to revolt.
Hamza bin Laden is believed to have been born around 1989. His father moved to Afghanistan in 1996 and declared war against the U.S. Hamza went with him and appeared in al Qaeda propaganda videos. As leader of al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden oversaw operations against Western targets that culminated in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York’s World Trade Center and on the Pentagon….

He didn’t visit the Saudi Embassy in Istanbul, did he? Like Khashoggi?

The hand of Hamza (also known as hand of Fatima) was given as an amulet gift to Brigitte Gabriel in honor of this recent news.
She spoke forcefully against Leftism and Islamist, and for the values of the West — which we need to organize to defend. She mentioned the project of Islamists (1982 memo) to utilize useful idiots within the systems of the West to infiltrate and indoctrinate; while a similar project (1991 memo) promoted by the Muslim Brotherhood also laid out the strategy of take over in North America.
Act for America event occurred recently in Illinois with a good-sized crowd who bought her book “RISE” — which plots out (as a manual to follow) the necessary steps to take….to combat the adversaries which affect us all, regardless of our awareness level of it all.

The CIA found OBL so they should be able to find others. These thugs are at war with the world and must be tracked and executed. They are armed and dangerous.

Hang on there Morti. Shouldn’t we run him through your touted de-radicalization program first? – you regularly spout off about its high value.

K. you are on drugs. Spontaneous, emotional thinkers do much harm. You are not an ethical person.

“Spontaneous, emotional thinkers do much harm.”
So there is no harm done by studying and acting on the Quran?
CRUSADER says
Sorry you had to experience that, there, kaboooooooooooom…..
Well …at any rate, taking down terrorist cells and eradicating terrorists with brutalizing force as well as fighting the stupid ideology will be an ongoing reality.
mortimer says
Hamza, a Saudi citizen called for Muslims to commit terrorism against his own country. If jihadists would do this in the home country of Islam, then they will do worse everywhere else.
It should be remembered that the Bin Laden family is extremely rich and capable of bribing almost anyone. They may even be hiding Hamza somewhere … though that isn’t likely. They would certainly be able to find him if they wanted.
Walter Sieruk says
After the extermination of Osama bin Laden by the Heroic Navy SEAL’s the son of the Muslim terrorist chief fled to Iran ,according to FOX News, the point being the Shiite Iran welcomed and gave safe housing to him ins spite of bin Laden’s son being and Sunni Muslim and al Qaeda a Sunni Islamic terror organization . Even through in history and in current time Sunni Muslim and Shiite Muslim hate each other . This safe housing given to Bin Laden‘s son was not out of love and kindness for him. He was given safety in Iran because both Iran and al Qaeda hate the United States even more than the hate each other.
Therefore , all this leads to the subject of Iran and September 11, 2001 jihad murderous affront against both humankind and America the following might be interesting to some people. A type of thinking of many from Middle East is the sayings that “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” This type of Middle Eastern “philosophy” may explain, to a degree, how Muslims of two different branches of Islam which are hostile to each other can work together against what they perceive as a “common enemy.”
In this case the mullahs and other in power in Shi ‘ite Iran can work with the jihadists of al Qaeda against which they see as “The Great Satan” By that term they mean the United States of America. As the Muslim author, Rohan Gunaratna , explained in his book INSIDE AL QAEDA . For on page 198 it reveals that among different Islamic terror organizations that “Ideological tolerance and inter-group cohesion as a means confronting a common enemy.” So another author, Robert Spencer, in his book which is entitled THE COMPLETE INFIDEL’S GUIDE TO IRAN supply’s information about this topic. It has been keyboarded that this book reveals “Iran’s long –standing support of terrorists- including shocking evidence that Iran helped plain the 9/11 attack.”

Most SEALs did not want to get outed by MObama ….
Thanks again Walter for another book recommendation….
What had been exhorted recently by Brigitte Gabriel is that reading/learning isn’t enough, blogging isn’t enough, but. Action is needed to counter what the jihadists and leftists are actively daily doing….
Her book “RISE” is a guide for taking action!

A la General Philip Sheridan, the only good Muslim terrorist is a dead Muslim terrorist. Thus, most certainly I hope this Islamic pig is no more.

Well, I hope so–but I would also not be surprised if he raises his ugly head again.

If Hamza bin Ladin had worked for the the PLO or even Hamas , he’d have better longevity odds and less enemies.

Who cares?
Yesterday’s manufactured news, modeled in the fashion of Roger Ailes, et al… a final stab in the dark at spinning the legacy of the Nixon Administration holdovers who really set us on this dead end cyclical course that’s actively spreading the disease of islam around the globe.
This silly ineffectual canard, shot out of the sky; might as well’ve been recklessly and lawlessly plugged by a sloppy drunk Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, or Don Rumsfeld.
The only excitement generated from this news is among pharmaceutically hopeless Fox viewers who can still manage to wheel themselves to the voting booths.
The mantra was in full effect before our thoroughly slinged-and-arrowed anti-heroic President said it (and I’ll say it again and and again):
THE WORLD WAS BETTER WHEN SADDAM HUSSEIN WAS IN IT.
Things have just not been the same since Dick and Don pulled the plug out of the dam, have they?
We will be working tirelessly and dying without results or redemption, thanks to those chickenhawks: Endless “refugee” flows, endless sufferers “fleeing” conflicts and chaos and “power vaccums”… Endless sympathy, virtue-signaling and Carte Blanche access granted to our enemies, directly into the heart of our homelands, forever and ever, and ever.
Muslims, and their poisonous gifts they relentlessly bestow upon mankind, are found everywhere now, is it not so?
So, any of the Bin Ladens croaking gives me no comfort.
Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld (Colin Powell, too) and Pope(on a rope) Francis are the emissaries of the Devil.
They opened the floodgates for this evil we (Western Civilization) once had the simple fortitude to contain.
The West is thoroughly occupied.
Where islam spreads, misery follows.
This story means nothing to me.
CRUSADER says
And yet there is still a chance for repentance and redemption.
mummymovie says
Indeed!
Without Saddam and Uday and Qusay, but…
For sure!
