RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has stripped citizenship from Hamza bin Laden, the son of former Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the official gazette of the Kingdom reported.
The royal decree dated from November was published on Feb. 22 in Umm Al-Qura. The report said the Saudi Ministry of Interior announced the approval of the decree and that Hamza bin Laden had been removed from “official records.”
On Thursday, the US State Department said it was offering a reward of up to $1 million for information leading “to the identification or location in any country” of Hamza, calling him a key Al-Qaeda leader.
