*ISLAMABAD – Hamza bin Laden, the son of one of Osama bin Laden’s threesurviving wives, could be hiding in Afghanistan, said bin Laden’shalf-brother.*
In an interview with the Guardianlink,bin Laden’s half-brother Hassan al-Attas said: “We’re not sure where he is,but it could be Afghanistan.”
According to the bin Laden family, Hamza bin Laden has married the daughterof Muhammad Atta, the lead hijacker in the 9/11 terror attacks.
After Osama bin Laden’s death in a US raid in Abbottabad seven years ago,Hamza bin Laden had taken a senior position within al-Qaeda and announcedthat he would avenge the death of his father.
The family, however, doesn’t want Hamza to follow in the footsteps of hisfather.
“When we thought everyone was over this, next thing I knew was Hamza sayingI am going to avenge my father,” said Hassan al-Attas. “I don’t want to gothrough that again.
“If Hamza was in front of me now, I would tell him: God guide you. Thinktwice about what you are doing. Don’t retake the steps of your father. Youare entering really negative and horrible parts of your soul.”
