Osama bin Laden's son, Hamza bin Laden, is dead, intelligence received by American intelligence officials indicate.
His cause of death, the location of his death, and whether America played a role in his death was not clear.
The U.S. government has not publicly confirmed Hamza bin Laden's death. When asked about the news on Wednesday, President Donald Trump told reporters: "I don't want to comment on it. I don't want to comment on that."
Osama bin Laden, the head of al-Qaeda and who U.S. officials said was the mastermind behind the 9/11 terror attacks and other killings of Americans, was killed during a raid on his Pakistan compound in 2011.
Hazma bin Laden was among the FBI's Most Wanted. It was offering a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to his whereabouts.
"Investigators believe Hamza bin Laden is married to the daughter of Al Qaeda senior leader Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, aka Abu Muhammad al Masri, who has been indicted for his alleged involvement in the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya," the FBI stated.
"Hamza bin Laden is wanted for questioning in connection with his membership in the Al Qaeda organization and his public declarations threatening the security of the United States."
"Hamza bin Laden is the son of deceased former AQ leader Usama bin Laden and is emerging as a leader in the AQ franchise," the department stated.
"Since at least August 2015, he has released audio and video messages on the Internet calling on his followers to launch attacks against the United States and its Western allies, and he has threatened attacks against the United States in revenge for the May 2011 killing of his father by U.S. service members."
Amid the fracturing of ISIS, "Hamza bin Laden's eventual rise to the top leadership position of al-Qaeda could be a lifeline, not only for the future of the organization itself, but for the global Salafi-Jihadi movement as a whole. The young Bin Laden might be uniquely positioned to once again unite the global jihadi terrorism under one banner," Soufan wrote.
The younger bin Laden "exemplifies al-Qaeda’s potential shift back to focus on the global jihad against the United States and our allies," he added. "In his public messages, Hamza calls on followers not to travel to theaters of jihad in the Muslim world, but instead to '[t]ake the battlefield from Kabul, Baghdad, and Gaza to Washington, London, Paris, and Tel Aviv.' Indeed, Hamza often repeats, almost word-for-word, myriad anti-American phrases used by his father as early as the 1990s."
