The U.S. Department of State’s Rewards for Justice Program is offering a reward of up to one million dollars for information leading to the identification or location in any country of a key leader of the al-Qaida terrorist organization: Hamza Bin Laden, son of deceased former al-Qaida head Usama Bin Laden.
Born in Saudi Arabia in the late nineteen-eighties, Hamza Bin Laden has released audio and video messages on the internet since 2015 calling for terrorist attacks against the United States and its Western allies. He has threatened attacks against the United States in revenge for the May 2011 killing of his father by U.S. service members.
Hamza Bin Laden is married to the daughter of Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, an al-Qa’ida senior leader who was indicted and charged by a federal grand jury in November 1998 for his role in the August 7, 1998, bombings of the U.S. embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya.
Letters by Usama bin Laden seized from his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan after his death indicate that Hamza bin Laden was being groomed to replace his father as leader of al-Qaida.
Since its inception in 1984, the Rewards for Justice program has paid in excess of one hundred and fifty million dollars to more than 100 individuals who provided actionable information that helped bring terrorists to justice or prevented acts of international terrorism worldwide.
More information about these reward offers is located on the Rewards for Justice website at www.rewardsforjustice.net.
We encourage anyone with information on Hamza bin Laden to contact the Rewards for Justice office via the website; e-mail: info@rewardsforjustice.net; phone: 1-800-877-3927 in North America; or mail: Rewards for Justice, Washington, D.C., 20520-0303, USA. Individuals may also contact the Regional Security Officer at the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
All information will be kept strictly confidential.
