Laden's son listed as 'global terrorist'

Laden's son listed as 'global terrorist' Al-Qaeda leader Hamza bin Laden, the son of the terror group's slain leader Osama bin Laden, has been designated as a "global terrorist" by the US. The US move comes nearly year and half after Hamza was officially announced by al-Qaeda chief as an official member of the group. Hamza, who is in his mid-twenties, has become active as an Al-Qaeda

propagandist since his father's death in 2011. Washington had in July last year said that, al-Qaeda issued audio message from Hamza bin Laden threatening revenge against the United States and warned Americans they would be targeted in the United States and abroad.  Simultaneously, the State Department also designated Ibrahim al-Banna, a senior member of Al-Qaeda in Arabian Peninsula, as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist.
