Since the killing of Osama bin Laden six years ago, his son, Hamza, has become another strong voice of al-Qaeda and is urgently needed by the United States, which sees it as the head of a new generation of terrorists influenced by bin Laden's ideology and speech.

Over the past years, Hamza has occasionally sent threatening messages to the United States and its interests around the world in retaliation for his father who died in a US military operation in Pakistan where Osama bin Laden spent the last days of his life.

In February, the United States gave $ 1 million to information leading to Hamza, who feared the United States would exploit his father's symbolism and gather al-Qaeda remnants around him, especially as he made a passionate speech that excited young people's emotions.

Has bin Laden been killed?
Osama bin Laden's son, Hamza, was killed earlier in an operation in which US intelligence played a role, the US-based ABC network quoted US officials as saying. US President Donald Trump declined to comment on a reporter's question.

The killing of 30-year-old Hamza bin Laden, a key al-Qaeda operative, has taken place in the past two years without specifying its date, the New York Times reported, quoting US officials. The two officials said the confirmation of his death took time.

Reuters reported that a US official said on Wednesday he expected the US government to issue a statement soon on Hamza bin Laden, after NBC quoted earlier three government officials to say that Washington obtained intelligence information that the death of Hamza .

However, a number of media outlets quoted some al-Qaeda supporters on the Internet as questioning the news, and called on them to be cautious in dealing with it pending the issuance of an official statement from the group confirming or denying the American leaks, especially since Western intelligence services have resorted to such leaks To locate some "jihadist" leaders according to them.

Khalifa the founder leader
If information is available about the killing of Hamzah bin Laden, Washington will have rid itself of one of its most prominent foes in the world, especially since Hamza tried to rebuild Al-Qaeda again, focusing on inflammatory speeches and messages.

Hamza is 15th in the ranks of Osama bin Laden's sons, but he was the closest to him for the rest of his life. He was later able to be the most prominent successor to his multi-family and multi-mothered sons. On the security of Washington.

The young revolutionary
There is little information available about the life of Hamzah bin Laden and whether he received public, religious or mixed education, but the information available describes him as always trying to appear as his father's successor. Hamza has already called on Arab tribes in Saudi Arabia to rally and fight against the United States. In an attempt to avenge his father Osama.

Saudi Arabia's Hamza, whose father has withdrawn his Saudi nationality, has been linked to Saudi Arabia, while American media reports that Washington has also infected Hamza with his father.

In 1989, Hamza bin Laden was born, the same period in which his father was a resident of Sudan. He traveled with him on a forced journey to Pakistan and from there to the caves of Afghanistan. He is described by the sources as a young man with a "leading personality." .

Although Hamza was not present at the moment of his father's death, the Americans found several messages he sent to his father, admiring his father's approach and keenness to continue on the same path.

In 2017, the United States named Hamza a global terrorist after his blunt call to target American interests everywhere and to try to provoke Arab tribes in Saudi Arabia into an open war against Washington, pledging revenge for his father.

Strengths
The power of Hamzah bin Laden - regardless of his life or death - has focused on several elements, most notably:

- The father's symbolism: His father Osama bin Laden became a symbolic icon of jihadist groups and currents in large parts of the Muslim world.

- The symbol of personal revenge: that makes him a personal crisis in excess of his anti-American intellectual approach. Although Hamza lived only 11 years with his father before being separated by the American bombing, Hamza lived as a trader under house arrest in Iran.

In his few speeches, Hamza concentrated on trying to please young people and rekindle their emotions in order to regroup a new force that would restore Al Qaeda's shattered power after the September 11, 2001 strikes.

The unification of the jihadists: Hamza had an important piece of paper from the struggle of the jihadi movements with the United States of America, the playing card for the collection of the various jihadist organizations distributed to the world, based on the historical symbolism of his father and his passionate speech, in addition to the state of collapse and dispersion that affected the organization of the Islamic state Urging).

Weaknesses
However, besides these strengths, Hamza lacked a number of important papers, and stood before him obstacles and obstacles, many of which are:

- Lack of leadership experience: With the exception of being the son of Osama bin Laden, there is nothing presented by young Hamza in front of the symbols of the jihadi organizations and leaders, which may make his quest to lead the gate of conflict and fight between those leaders.

- The decline of violent movements: in favor of civil mobility and political action and the rejection of the "terror scourge" by the Arab and Islamic peoples, making reviving the options of violence and activating the activities of their groups a risky option in most if not all Islamic countries, and may not find sufficient popular support.

- Local violence: where the collapse of Osama bin Laden's dreams of global violence sought by men, and dropped to the local violence, in addition to the siege of its areas in many of the world for many considerations, including the bitterness of experience and lack of coordination and global security, And multi-government negotiations with armed groups that for years represented the greatest threat to the United States.

Until the picture is clearer, whether Hamza has already been eliminated or he has survived the death he always lurks, he remains the most prominent voice in the bin Laden family, and it is also certain that he will gain greater fame if the news of his death is realized.
