Osama Bin Laden’s son, now 28, encouraged Muslim extremists to launch lone-wolf attacks against the West in a chilling video
Osama Bin Laden’s son encouraged Muslim extremists to launch lone-wolf attacks against the West in a chilling video released last night.
In the ten-minute footage, Hamza Bin Laden urges his followers to embark on suicide missions that cause most damage and go for ‘the jugular of the enemy’.
Bin Laden relays his message in Arabic with English subtitles, declaring: ‘This is advice for anyone who intends to carry out a martyrdom operation.’
As he speaks, the video shows pictures of terrorists who have launched successful attacks in the West.
Bin Laden, who is thought to be 28, goes on: ‘Be perfect in your choice of targets, so that you may damage your enemies more.
'If you are able to pick a firearm, well and good; if not, the options are many.’
And he adds: ‘Take lead in inflicting losses, attacking the jugular of the enemy and hitting its joints.’
Hamza Bin Laden is believed to be positioning himself as the new leader of Al Qaeda, challenging Ayman al-Zawahiri, who took over the terror group following the killing of Osama Bin Laden by US Navy Seals at a compound in Pakistan in 2011.
Terrorism expert Professor Anthony Glees said: ‘The threat from this video is extremely serious.’
