Hamza bin Laden, 30, was a high-ranking official in al-Qaeda - the group behind the devastating 9/11 attacks - and was dubbed the Crown Prince of Jihad.A statement said: "Hamza bin Ladin, the high-ranking al-Qa'ida member and son of Usama bin Ladin, was killed in a United States counterterrorism operation in the Afghanistan/Pakistan region.
"The loss of Hamza bin Ladin not only deprives al-Qa'ida of important leadership skills and the symbolic connection to his father, but undermines important operational activities of the group.The terror chief was believed to be in hiding in Pakistan, Afghanistan or possibly even Iran - where he was reportedly placed under house arrest.In a State Department briefing, Hamza had been described as an "emerging leader" in Al-Qaeda after he had called for attacks on the West.
