America offers $1 million bounty for Osama Bin Laden's son

The United States (US) has offered a $1 million bounty for the capture of Osama Bin Laden's son Hamza.
Hamza was only a teenager when his father was killed in 2011 but today, US intelligence officials have information that he is the emerging leader of Al-Qaeda.
It is believed Al-Qaeda is regrouping and intending to carry out more attacks on the US.
Following on this information, the US government has put up a bounty of $1 million for the capture or information leading to Hamza's whereabouts.
“He has released audio and video messages on the internet, calling on his followers to launch attacks against the United States and its Western allies,” the US state department said.
According to BBC, Hamza is believed to be about 30 years old and he was officially designated a terrorist about two years ago.
He is believed to be married to a daughter of Mohammed Atta one of the hijackers during the September 11 attacks in 2001, which left thousands of people dead.
That according to papers found with the slain Osama Bin Laden, he had been recruiting Hamza to replace him as the leader of Al-Qaeeda.
