Hamza bin Laden has a busy speaking schedule these days. He released a speech in May calling on Muslims to “kill Jews everywhere” and on Saturday released a speech entitled “we’re all Osama” via Al Qaeda’s Sahab media.
The audio is a bit of a throwback, and discusses the elder bin Laden’s legacy in addition to threatening the US with revenge attacks worldwide over his death. Hamza praises his late father Osama bin Laden as a “righteous sheikh” responsible for the September 11 attacks. Like his latest speech, bin Laden mentions the importance of the struggle against the Jews in Palestine. He also boasts of Al Qaeda’s survival in light of the “bombs of the American planes in Waziristan.”
Daesh (ISIS) and Al Qaeda researcher Tore Hamming was among the first to break news of the speech’s release to Twitter.
Besides that the speech was par for the course as far as radical jihadis go. Amidst images of his father, the twin towers, current leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and Daesh forefather Abu Musab al-Zaqawi, he states his belief in the end of the days, as well as the glory of jihad and the path of God, among other things.
It’s not immediately clear why the famed jihadist’s son released the audio at this time.
