FILE - In this image from video released by the CIA on Nov. 1, 2017, Hamza bin Laden is shown at his wedding. As the war wound down, Osama bin Laden would launch a new group that sought to leverage that global network for a broader jihad. He went to Pakistan’s Waziristan province, where he asked for weapons training, according to a letter to the elder bin Laden. In August 2015, a video emerged on jihadi websites of Ayman al-Zawahri, the current leader of al-Qaida, introducing “a lion from the den of al-Qaida” — Hamza bin Laden. Hamza bin Laden hasn’t been heard from since a message in March 2018, in which he threatened the rulers of Saudi Arabia.
