Osama Bin Laden's son vows revenge on the west
Osama bin Laden's son has vowed revenge on the west for killing his father and is set to become the next leader of al-Qaeda, a former FBI agent has warned.
Like father, like son
When he was still a child, he used to appear in propaganda videos holding a gun, the former FBI agent said.
"He was that kid that exhibited leadership skills early on. He was a poster kid for the al Qaeda… and for members of al Qaeda, who were indoctrinated with these propaganda videos, he means a lot to them," Mr Soufan said.
"His recent message that came out, he delivered the speech as if it's his father delivering the speech, using sentences, terminology that was used by Osama bin Laden."
"He's basically saying, 'American people, we're coming and you're going to feel it. And we're going to take revenge for what you did to my father…Iraq…Afghanistan'…the whole thing was about vengeance."
Legacy
Six years after Osama bin Laden was killed by US special forces, Mr Soufan said al-Qaeda is "stronger than ever".
"I don't believe even bin Laden in his wildest dreams thought that he will have followers who command armies, troops…lands…"
Does being the son of Osama Bin Laden add any credence to these types of threats? It doesn't seem unfathomable for something like this to happen and one could argue this is destiny manifesting itself. (kind of like North Korea)
There has been so much conspiracies revolving around the entire situation, from the 9/11 attacks, who was really behind it, wether Osama even died/was already dead and to everything in between which I'm sure most of you are aware of by now. So many things can change the narrative from one thing to another, so I think we'll just have to take this at face value for now.
One thing I do know is regardless if this is all propaganda or not, we cannot deny the influence and effect this will have on the radicalized.
Why does everything seem like a script from a movie?
