The United States has obtained intelligence that the son and potential successor of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, Hamza bin Laden, is dead, according to three U.S. officials.

The officials would not provide details of where or when Hamza bin Laden died or if the U.S. played a role in his death. It is unclear if the U.S. has confirmed his death.

I wouldn’t start the party just yet.

Seems like these types of reports are often wrong.

I wonder who killed him. Our troops will die if there is retaliation.

But he can still contribute to Trashida Tlaib’s campaign, and vote too.

Good point.

A couple years ago that would have still been pretty funny.

Kind of looks like a double-mag Bren gun, perhaps an expert can tell us.

Of course not. Elvis is living in Texas with JFK at a rest home.

What has being dead ever stopped a Dem from voting?

They can’t even prove Osama is dead. A mad frenzy to bury the body at sea is too suspicious, likely it was a publicity stunt for Obama.
If Hamza is dead then, habeas corpus, show me the body.
