Intelligence reports has revealed that Osama bin Laden’s eldest son faked his death in 2019 with the help of al-Qaeda and a ruthless mafia clan dubbed ‘the Sopranos of Afghanistan’.
Over the years, Hamza, 37, known as ‘The Prince and Dauphin of Terror, has secretly built up a network of killers across Asia and Africa and is now planning to attack the West, the assessment warned.
In September 2019, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Hamza bin Laden had been killed in a counterterrorism operation in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region.
However, definitive physical or DNA evidence was never publicly provided to confirm the kill.
Now, reports say his death was allegedly faked by al-Qaeda, the ruthless network behind the 9/11 attacks that killed 3,000 people and kickstarted America’s 20-year War on Terror.
Amid the news of Hamza’s reemergence, the militant organisation is becoming a deadly threat once again.
The UK is firmly in the terror network’s sights, due to its military collaboration with the US, its colonial history in the Middle East, ties to Israel and its business relations with the Gulf states.
The West may fall victim to mass casualty attacks, individual attacks, kidnappings, murder, sabotage and the targeting of politicians or other senior figures, the assessment claimed.’
The United Kingdom faces a convergent threat. Al-Qaeda retains a historic focus upon Britain as a military ally of the United States, whether under this shaky U-turn government or otherwise,’ the report said.
Al-Qaeda allegedly conned the CIA into believing Hamza had been killed, because they knew they were being spied upon, the report revealed.Hamza was groomed by the former al-Qaeda chief Ayman Zawahiri to take up power.
After a CIA-sponsored airstrike, he told Hamza’s circle to report his death via telephone calls.
The careful ruse was aided by the Haqqani Network – a deadly mafia gang nicknamed ‘the Sopranos of Afghanistan’, which exercises huge influence within the Taliban.
