President Trump said Hamza bin Laden was killed in an operation in the Afghanistan/Pakistan region and that he was 'responsible for planning and dealing with various terrorist groups.'
President Trump said that Hamza bin Laden, a son of al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden, had been killed in a U.S. counterterrorism operation.
The president said in a statement released by the White House Saturday that the death of Hamza bin Laden, who was viewed by some as a rising figure in his late father’s violent Islamist group, deprives al Qaeda "of important leadership skills and the symbolic connection to his father, [and] undermines important operational activities of the group.”
