Hamza Bin Laden, 'Crown Prince Of Terror,' May Have Escaped Raid (VIDEO)

Hamza Bin Laden Son

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 05/11/11 01:15 PM ET Updated: 07/11/11 06:12 AM ET

It seems one of bin Laden's sons may have escaped the Abbottabad compound raid.

Deemed the "Crown Prince of Terror," Hamza bin Laden, 19, may have escaped the attack. According to the Telegraph, three of bin Laden’s widows, currently being interrogated in Pakistani custody, have said that Hamza has not been seen since the raid.

While White House officials originally claimed that Hamza was killed, they later amended their statement saying that his 22-year-old brother, Khalid, was instead killed.

The report of Hamza's escape runs contrary to U.S. officials who say they are "absolutely confident" that no one escaped the compound, according to ABC News. Infrared technology in addition to reports from those on the ground apparently confirmed that nobody got away during the raid. Officials maintain that the only body that was taken away by the SEALs belonged to Osama bin Laden.

Hamza is the youngest of bin Laden's suspected 20 or so children, according to CBS News. He was a close confidant of his father and has become know for his outspokenness against Western nations.

Though just who was living in the compound is unconfirmed, it is believed that Hamza's mother is among those being held by Pakistani officials.

He has been implicated in the 2007 assassination of Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto, according to the Telegraph.' Many believe he was being groomed to become the next leader of al-Qaeda.

we probably captured him and he's now in gitmo for questioning… after we glean whatever info we can from him, we should kill him and dispose of the body and keep everything hush hush -
the punk kid is too dangerous to let him go free

this is like when an action movie ends and they set up the sequel in the very last scene.

in this case, it would be like kill bill...only "kill bin laden" and as they kill him and drag his body away, the camera catches a boy in the background, with a single tear rolling down his face as he watches in horrified silence. anddddd end scene.

unfortunately i think they are all one in the same.
really, it's only one party. and they put on two fronts: dem & rep.
it's like two police officers, playing good cop, bad cop. but at the end of the day, they are both working for the same team.

In other words, the war is not over, and must find another country to invade. Difficult for the US to kick its addiction to wars habit.

They are just practicing on Third World Nations and Poor Nations for now.. all the new arsenals toys were developed in the early 90's. So they are itching to use them - Kiwait then Iraq.Afghan/Pak etc.,

They are on a pratice run. In 10 years they will be attacked the bigs dogs, like russian and the europe/China/India.

In 10 yrs -it will be the nuke. We will be doom and the US will have to answer.

It's Friday the 13th today.

no, we're going to stay in afghan for a while and here's why: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/storysupplement/afghan_mines/index.html

furthermore, the US doesn't have the funds to go after the big dogs head on. that's why they are trying to get hold of the middle east......because it's china and india's neighbor. they want our presence felt there so they can say "we were here first". you see, china and india are obviously HUGE nations. but they are resource deprived. if they get hold of the middle east and all its resources, the game is over, they win. so since we can't attack china, attack what could be of use to them.

We get one monster that was used to justify the wars, so now everyone wants to just end those wars.

Their solution: create a new boogeyman to justify continuing their wars.

Before fundamentalist Islamic groups sought thier path of terror. Those within Islam were bringing the western world to Islam through peace and tolerance. Many western peoples were open to Islam and the Islamic way of life. But through hatred, terror, bloodshed and death, those that would have sought Islam now turn away from the Quran and its teachings. The fundumentalist have filled the Qurran pages with blood and Allah has turned his back upon Islam. Until Islam finds the peace it once had, it will continue to suffer the death and hatred it now seeks.

The people who dislike whast I said are cowards. They are people who believe in crime and not poeace. People who want to the greatest aqre the weakest. They want to fight the wak, and the United States is one. I will say again I am Vietnam Coimbat Veteran, and the people in the US. do not know thw truth about the conflicy in Vietnam. Many Vietnam Veterans commiteddeath to themselve, because of the crime they did Vietnam. War is glory. life and peace is.

If I commit murder in the US. against someone I am wrong. I commited murder in Vietnam and praise. More crime was done to me here in the US. than in Vietnam. Many people of the of the US. are criminals. I stand behind what I believe, Where are the true Christians. Jesus believers, because all I see are the people who slap the cheek.

First it was an old man in the mountains of Hindokosh that got us in two 9 year wars and $14 TRILLION debt, now a 19 year old kid. How long, how many lives and how much cash are we going to spend looking for this kid now?
