Personal letters discovered during the raid that killed bin Laden show that Hamza, is set on avenging his father’s death.
Soufan said of Bin Laden son, “He tells him that … he remembers ‘every look… every smile you gave me, every word you told me.'”
Soufan also said that Hamza wrote that he considers himself “to be forged in steel.”
“He was seen sometimes holding a gun,” the agent said, adding that “he has even started to sound like his father.
“His recent message that came out, he delivered the speech as if it’s his father, using sentences, terminology that was used by Osama bin Laden.”
Soufan said, “He’s basically saying, ‘American people, we’re coming and you’re going to feel it.”
“And we’re going to take revenge for what you did to my father. Iraq, Afghanistan.’ The whole thing was about vengeance.”
