Pres. Trump confirmed the death of Hamza Bin Laden, son of the 9/11 terrorist mastermind and al-Qaeda founder Osama Bin Laden, marking the first time the White House is confirming his death since it was initially reported a few months ago.
President Donald Trump confirmed the death of Hamza bin Laden, the son of the 9/11 terrorist mastermind and al-Qaeda founder Osama Bin Laden, in a White House statement on Saturday.
U.S. officials said in July that Hamza bin Laden was believed to have died within the last two years, but that it was unclear when and where it had happened. The timing of the president's statement is of particular interest given reports of how secret U.S. talks with the Taliban fell apart amid push-back from the president's most ardent supporters.
