Beirut - Al-Qaeda's media arm has released
an audio in which the purported son of the
late al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden
threatens revenge against the US for
assassinating his father.
In the video released by As-Sahab on
Saturday, Hamza bin Laden tells Americans
that they are accountable for the decisions
of their leaders. He says al-Qaeda will
continue waging jihad, or holy war, against
the US in response to its "oppression" of
Muslims.
"If you think that your sinful crime that you
committed in Abbottabad has passed without
punishment, then you thought wrong," he
says.
Bin Laden was killed in a May 2011 US raid
at his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
His son's whereabouts is not known.
Analysts speculate that he may be preparing
to take over leadership of al-Qaeda.
