Source: Agence France-Presse

The United States on Thursday offered a $1 million reward for information on a son of late Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, seeing him as an emerging face of extremism.

The location of Hamza bin Laden, sometimes dubbed the "crown prince of jihad," has been the subject of speculation for years with reports of him living in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria or under house arrest in Iran.

"Hamza bin Laden is the son of deceased former AQ leader Osama bin Laden and is emerging as a leader in the AQ franchise," a State Department statement said, referring to Al-Qaeda.

He MUST outdo the black President, at all costs! Plus, it's a great distraction! I wouldn't put it past him to "suggest" that they find the son, and it's okay if there's not enough left to verify that's who it is.

(just guessing his thought process)

8. That's what I think. It esp. gets his goat that Obama was black and so popular and successful.

And Obama made those jokes about him at the White House Correspondent's Dinner. Remember that? Trump was seething. We now know that Trump is all about payback. Nothing is too small. He takes vengeance brutally.
