U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed on Saturday that Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden's son, Hazma bin Laden, was killed in a U.S. operation in the "Afghanistan/Pakistan region."
"The loss of Hamza bin Laden not only deprives Al-Qaeda of important leadership skills and the symbolic connection to his father, but undermines important operational activities of the group," Trump said in a statement issued by the White House.
US media reported in early August, citing intelligence officials, that the younger Bin Laden had been killed sometime in the last two years in an operation that involved the United States.
