DEAD MAN RISING: Hamza bin Laden, previously believed to be dead, now leading resurgent Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan
Intelligence reported by TheMirror US claims that Hamza bin Laden, son of former Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and previously believed to be dead, is not only alive and well but is also actively leading his late father’s organization and reportedly spearheading Al-Qaeda’s resurgence in Afghanistan, establishing a global militant dynasty.
In 2019, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) claimed to have eliminated bin Laden in an airstrike in Ghazni Province, but no DNA evidence ever surfaced to confirm his death. TheMirror US reported that he survived the assassination attempt, leading to additional claims that he is now secretly running Al-Qaeda, with reports further exacerbated by the fact that his older brother Abdallah may also be involved.
Under Hamza’s command, Al-Qaeda is reportedly regrouping and preparing for future attacks. His drive to continue his father’s legacy adds both symbolic and strategic significance to his actions. The role of his brother Abdallah in this revival is also considered critical.
The Mirror US claims that Hamza’s role in Al-Qaeda’s resurgence is “a fact well-known among senior Taliban leaders.”
“These leaders engage with him, holding regular meetings and providing security for him and his family,” TheMirror US reported. “This relationship underscores a deep connection between Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, which is crucial for Western governments to understand.
Al-Qaeda bases in Afghanistan training terrorists and coordinating global attacks
Hamza, now 34, is believed to be based primarily in Jalalabad in eastern Afghanistan, a known terror hotspot located about 100 miles from Kabul.
It is believed that Hamza and his four wives have been using Iran as a refuge to avoid detection by the CIA.
Hamza and Al-Qaeda’s de facto leader, Saif al-Adel, are reported to use a network of safe houses across Afghanistan. These locations in Kandahar, Ghazni, Laghman, Parwan, Herat and Helmand enable Al-Qaeda members to travel to and from Iran, facilitating their operations.
According to intelligence reports, Hamza and Abdallah have played key roles in the establishment and operation of 10 major Al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan. These camps reportedly focus on training fighters and suicide bombers, equipping them with skills to launch attacks against Western targets and training them ideologically, promoting the notion that martyrdom for the cause is the highest achievement, creating motivated recruits who willingly volunteer for suicide missions.
Additional reports suggest that the Al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan not only train fighters but also instruct them on how to evade detection and carry out attacks beyond the country’s borders.
It is estimated that up to 21 different terror networks are currently operating in Afghanistan, transforming the region under the Taliban into a major hub of terrorist activity. Al-Qaeda and its collaboration with the local branch of the Islamic State, known as the Islamic State-Khorasan Province (ISIS-K), is raising concerns about a possible large-scale attack on the Western world similar to 9/11.
Reports also indicate that Al-Qaeda and ISIS-K are not merely co-existing but are actively collaborating. There are even instances of inter-marriage among members, which is contributing to the formation of a more unified and formidable terror network. This collaboration mirrors past alliances among key terrorist leaders and underscores the escalating threat.
Intelligence documents highlight disturbing parallels between the current situation and the lead-up to the 9/11 attacks. The absence of a stable government in Afghanistan and the Taliban’s ideological alignment with Islamic extremist groups have made Afghanistan a haven for terrorism. Terrorists from various regions are reportedly flocking to Afghanistan for training.
