WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- The U.S. State Department has classified Hamza bin Laden, son of former al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, as an international terrorist.
The State Department said the younger bin Laden was officially drafted into the terror group by its new leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in an Internet broadcast in 2015. Since then, the younger bin Laden has called for lone wolf attacks against the United States, France and Israel, the State Department said.
