TIL Desk/World/Washington/ Osama bin Laden’s son Hamza is poised to lead a stronger, larger Al Qaeda and is “bent on avenging” his father’s death, according to a former FBI agent familiar with the personal letters seized in a dramatic US raid that killed the al Qaeda leader in Pakistan’s Abbottabad.
Hamza, about 28 year old now, wrote those letters when he was 22 and had not seen his father bin Laden in several years.
Ali Soufan, the former FBI agent who was the bureau’s lead investigator of al Qaeda after the 9/11 attacks, told the letters reveal Hamza to be a young man who adores his father and wants to carry on his murderous ideology.
