Experts are saying that Hamza bin Laden, the son of Osama bin Laden, is alive and leading al-Qaeda.
Hamza, 34, was previously reported dead in 2019, and reportedly based in Jalalabad, a known terrorist hub east of Kabul.
The development is now raising serious concerns about the continuation of Osama bin Laden’s legacy and the potential for further violence and terrorism, UK Mirror reports.
According to the report, Hamza, also known as the “Crown Prince of Terror,” is said to be secretly commanding the terrorist network, alongside his brother Abdullah.
The report said intelligence suggests that both brothers have established a militant dynasty.
They are assumed to have 10 major terror training camps in Afghanistan and connections to other global extremist groups.
The report further revealed that Hamza has camps where he trains fighters and suicide bombers, and teach them how to slip out of Afghanistan to launch threats against Western targets.
“Hamza bin Laden is not only alive but actively involved in al-Qaeda’s resurgence, a fact well-known among senior Taliban leaders. These leaders engage with him, holding regular meetings and securing him and his family,” a report seen by the Mirror stated.
