Hamza bin Laden, son of Osama bin Laden, long thought to be following in his father’s footsteps, has been officially named as a “specially designated global terrorist” by the United States State Department, reports the BBC.
Hamza has called for attacks against western capitals and is said by the US State Department to be “actively engaged in terrorism”.
An official terrorist designation prevents bin Laden from holding property in the US of from doing business with US companies.
