The officials would not provide details of how Hamza bin Laden died or if the U.S. played a role.

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 where or when Hamza bin Laden died or if the U.S. played a role in his death.


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.

Good that he is dead, if he is indeed dead, however it happened.

Given that Trump said "I don't want to comment", it's basically a guarantee that he is dead. If he was alive Trump would be bragging that he was dead and that he was also a liberal socialist.

Trump's decline to comment is a little strange--you would think he would want the world to know if he was involved in a bin Laden kill.

Trump is now going to claim to have killed "bin Laden" at one of his white nationalist rallies. Just watch.

The bigger story is Trump not commenting. The idiot's blowhole wont stay closed for the pettiest, tiniest of things and all of a sudden, in a big first, it's "no comment" from him? Not even, "we're looking into it"?

Uh, he doesn't believe his Intel officers remember? He's probably waiting on Fox News to confirm he's dead so he can confidently announce it..

No comment from Trump means he doesn't know.
I fucking WISH that was the bar for whether or not Trump comments on something. Because then he would just never talk about anything.

Too bad the moron feels the need to comment on pretty much everything regardless of whether or not he knows anything about it.

Trump comments on everything. That he didn't speaks to either being told to shut the fuck up or he's planning a better way to reveal it. I think that the U.S is involved and is gonna do a big show of it and Trump is in and approves.

Now we will never know if it was him or Osama himself who was watching Bible Black on the seized laptop.

Um... maybe I'm misremembering.... but wasn't Osama a leader of the Taliban?

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.
