It is thought that for a number of years, Hamza bin Laden and his four wives sought safety in Iran in order to elude CIA discovery. Despite earlier reports of his passing, no DNA evidence was ever presented.
It has been demonstrated by fresh evidence that Osama bin Laden’s son Hamza has taken over as al-Qaida’s commander, debunking reports that he was slain in a US attack in 2019. The Times of India, citing a Mirror report, claims that Hamza, once known as the “Crown Prince of Terror,” is now thought to be leading the terror network’s comeback and supervising the construction of new training camps in Afghanistan as al-Qaida regains its capacity to carry out attacks on Western countries.
According to a UK Mirror story, Hamza’s leadership has given the group new life, and since the Taliban retook power in Afghanistan, the group has strengthened its relations with them. Like their father before them, his brother Abdullah bin Laden is believed to be participating in al-Qaida’s operations, signaling the beginning of a new terror dynasty headed by a family that seeks to wreak havoc throughout the world.
It is thought that for a number of years, Hamza bin Laden and his four wives sought safety in Iran in order to elude CIA discovery. Despite earlier reports of his passing, no DNA evidence was ever presented. According to recent intelligence, Hamza may now be using safe homes spread throughout Afghanistan to help al-Qaida transport its agents to and from Iran.
According to a new allegation from the National Mobilization Front (NMF), a military alliance fighting the Taliban, Hamza bin Laden is allegedly planning future assaults on Western targets while hiding in northern Afghanistan under the protection of 450 snipers.
The fact that Hamza is still alive and still in charge suggests that al-Qaida may be experiencing its biggest rebirth since the Iraq War. Experts warn of a potential fresh surge of terrorist activity as new training camps are apparently being created in the Afghan districts of Helmand and Ghazni, places that were previously battled over by Western forces. According to the research, Afghanistan may have up to 21 distinct terror networks operating there, making it the most concentrated terror hotspot in the world.
There have been fears of a 9/11-style attack due to the existence of these camps, some of which are situated in locations that were previously controlled by US and British soldiers. The Mirror has access to an intelligence report that emphasized the concerning similarities between the current state of affairs and the time frame preceding the 9/11 attacks.
Al-Qaida established eight new training facilities in Afghanistan in 2024, including ones in the provinces of Ghazni, Laghman, Parwan, and Helmand, according to a UN assessment that TOI quoted. Five recently founded madrasas, or Islamic institutions, in regions like the provinces of Kunar and Nangarhar support these camps by acting as recruitment hubs for future terrorists.
According to reports, Hamza has played a crucial part in this comeback by meeting frequently with senior Taliban figures to plan al-Qaida’s actions. The head of the Haqqani network, Sirajuddin Haqqani, who is thought to be providing shelter for Hamza and his family in Afghanistan, has also backed him.
The increasing cooperation between al-Qaida and the Taliban presents a serious security threat to the West, especially in light of intelligence reports indicating that the Taliban is allowing al-Qaida members to travel freely between Iran and Afghanistan to plan operations with no hindrance.
