US President Donald Trump announced Saturday that Hamza bin Laden, son of al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden, has been killed.
The death of Hamza bin Laden occurred during a US counterterrorism operation in the Afghanistan/Pakistan region. The incident is important both symbolically and pragmatically, as Hamza bin Laden was in charge of a variety of terrorist operations while simultaneously inheriting the image of his father.
No details were provided about when or where the counterterrorism strike occurred.
