WASHINGTON — The U.S. 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. It is unclear if the U.S. has confirmed his death.
Hamza bin Laden's last known public statement was released by al Qaeda's media arm in 2018. He threatened Saudi Arabia and called on the people of the Arabian peninsula to revolt.

Vince Foster knows the answer and he isn't saying anything.

Let's hope that this is true, but NBC isn't a very reliable source.

#3 so true dat. I predict that in a week or so that it will be not true and that the bad guys will declare for the democrat presidential nomination.

From the NYT,
Hamza bin Laden was killed in the past two years, during the Trump administration, but it took time to confirm his death, the officials said.
In February, the State Department announced a $1 million reward for information about his whereabouts. However, by then, Mr. bin Laden had been killed — but his death had not yet been confirmed by the military and intelligence agencies.
The United States government had a role in the operation that killed the younger Mr. bin Laden, but it was not clear precisely what that role was. Details, including where it happened, were scarce. The officials discussed his death on the condition of anonymity because it involved sensitive operations and intelligence gathering.

Wait just a darn minute. He didn't have a son, just two daughters.
Oh, Osama...? Never mind.

The US would not provide details or proof of Osama's death either. Outside of Hussein's inner circle of jerks, only SEAL Team 6 knows and good luck getting those guys to talk.

I would not bet too much on this being true.
First, consider the source..... the NYSlimes. Liars.
Second, consider the usual evasive wording.....
-"The United States government had a role in the operation that killed the younger Mr. bin Laden, but it was not clear precisely what that role was."
-"Details, including where it happened, were scarce."
-"The officials discussed his death on the condition of anonymity because it involved sensitive operations and intelligence gathering."
Yeah, right.
I say it is equally possible that they guy disappeared off the radar scope and only his buddies know for sure where he is.
When I see an unfaked (and with digital faking, how does one KNOW that ANYTHING is genuine) photo of body parts, I MIGHT believe it.

Not likely. I'm more likely to believe Barry and his 'intelligence' subversives smuggled bin Laden's son into the USA, gave him a house, plenty of money, and another name with accompanying SS # from some dead guy just like Barry got.
