Hamza bin Laden, son of Al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden, is reportedly dead. But details including where he died remain unknown.
Hamza bin Laden was regarded as an eventual heir to the leadership of Al Qaeda and had repeatedly threatened to attack the United States. He was also designated a global terrorist in January 2017.
The New York Times quoted an American official that the U.S. government had a role in the operation that killed the younger bin Laden.

The report adds that Hamza bin Laden was killed before the State Department announced a $1 million US dollar reward for information about his whereabouts in February this year.
