Bin Laden's Son Says Al Qaeda Will Avenge Father's Death

The media arm of al Qaeda posted an online audio message by Osama bin Laden's son threatening revenge against the United States for assassinating his father.

In the 21-minute audio message, Hamza bin Laden tells Americans they are accountable for the decisions of their leaders.

"We will continue striking you and targeting you in your country and abroad in response to your oppression of the people of Palestine, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Somalia and the rest of the Muslim lands that did not survive your oppression," he says.

"As for the revenge by the Islamic nation for Sheikh Osama, may Allah have mercy on him, it is not revenge for Osama the person but revenge for those who defended Islam," he added.

Hazma bin Laden says al Qaeda will continue waging jihad, or "holy" war, against the United States in response to its "oppression" of Muslims.
