Saudi Arabia strips Osama bin Laden's son of citizenship

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has stripped citizenship from Hamza bin Laden, the son of slain al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the interior ministry said in a statement published by the official gazette.

 

The U.S. State Department said on Thursday it was offering a reward of up to $1 million for information leading "to the identification or location in any country" of Hamza, calling him a key al Qaeda leader.

 

Hamza, believed to be about 30 years old, was at his father’s side in Afghanistan before the September 11 attacks and spent time with him in Pakistan after the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan pushed much of al Qaeda’s senior leadership there, according to the Brookings Institution.

 

Introduced by the organisation’s new chief Ayman al-Zawahiri in an audio message in 2015, Hamza provides a younger voice for the group whose aging leaders have struggled to inspire militants around the world galvanized by Islamic State, analysts say.

 

He has called for acts of terrorism in Western capitals and threatened to take revenge against the United States for his father’s killing, the State Department said in 2017 when it designated him as a global terrorist.

 

He also threatened to target Americans abroad and urged Saudi tribes to unite with Yemen's Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula to fight against Saudi Arabia, it said.

 

Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. special forces who raided his compound in Pakistan in 2011. Hamza was thought to be under house arrest in Iran at the time, and documents recovered from the compound indicated that aides had been trying to reunite him with his father.

 

The Saudi decision to strip him of his citizenship was made by a royal order in November, according to a statement published in the Um al-Qura official journal.

The Bin Laden family own one of the biggest building companies in Saudi. Their power and influence in Jeddah and Riyadh is awesome. Hamza'a activities have been bank rolled by the family for too long, if Trump wants to throw sanctions around putting the heat on the Bin Laden's would be a great play.

The family are no all bad though. One of his younger brothers was suspended from Jeddah Prep in 2010 for alcohol abuse. Strange this never made the papers !

Only 20 years or so too late.

I thought he was one of "The Family" over there. Like mtls2005 said, the timing is too coincidental to ignore. Is Trump trying to set up some back door to escape SDNY-sponsored jail time?

Hamza is a nice name for a giraffe.

This is fairly typical of the Saudis. They support terror as much as possible, but when cornered, and faced with bad press, sometimes they make a move that makes them appear concerned. If they were really concerned, they would stop funding the extremist Madrasas, and other such toxic expenditures. MBS is a gangster. We all know that now.

Does this mean he has dual nationality or that Saudi can flaunt UN rules yet again.

At first, I thought it was the U.S. State Department that put out the bounty. My Bad.

A Charitable (501c) organization.

 

The Rewards for Justice Fund was a non-governmental, non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization whose sole affiliation with the U.S. Department of State’s Rewards for Justice program was for the purpose of raising and providing private contributions to the U.S. Department of State for its use in the identification and apprehension of terrorists operating within the United States and abroad. The Rewards for Justice Fund was created and administered by a group of private American citizens. The group approached the U.S. Department of State shortly after the September 11 attacks and requested approval to raise money through donations from the general public to support RFJ. We reviewed this proposal and supported the efforts of the Rewards for Justice Fund. After providing assistance in the years after September 11, the Fund was disbanded in August 2008.

Does he have other citizenship or is he now stateless ?

 

Two other partners of the Bin Laden construction company was the famous Bush valise and Halleberton owned by the Cheney family at one point in time.

Wonder if the construction company did a bad job on a Trump building somewhere?
