US imposes terrorism-related sanctions against bin Laden son
[IsraelTimes] State Department says Hamza bin Laden poses ’serious’ risk to national security after urging attacks on American, French, and Israeli targets.

The B.O. regime imposed sanctions Thursday on a son of Sept. 11 criminal mastermind the late Osama bin Laden
... who used to be alive but now he's not...
, saying the younger bin Laden poses a risk to US national security.

The State Department said Hamza bin Laden has been added to its Specially Designated Global Terrorist list after he was "determined to have committed, or pose a serious risk of committing, acts of terrorism that threaten the security of US nationals or the national security."

Hamza bin Laden was officially named an al-Qaeda member in 2014 by his father’s successor, Ayman al-Zawahiri
... Formerly second in command of al-Qaeda, now the head cheese, occasionally described as the real brains of the outfit. Formerly the Mister Big of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Bumped off Abdullah Azzam with a car boom in the course of one of their little disputes. Is thought to have composed bin Laden's fatwa entitled World Islamic Front Against Jews and Crusaders. Currently residing in the North Wazoo area assuming he's not dead like Mullah Omar. He lost major face when he ordered the nascent Islamic State to cease and desist and merge with the orthodx al-Qaeda spring, al-Nusra...
The State Department says the younger Laden -- in a 2015 audio message -- called for acts of terrorism in Western capitals. In an audio message last year, he threatened Dire Revenge against the US and warned Americans they would be targeted at home and abroad.

Hamza bin Laden also has called for lone wolf, or solo-operative, attacks against US, French, and Israeli interests in Washington, Gay Paree and Tel Aviv.

"Hamza bin Laden is actively engaged in terrorism," the State Department said, adding that terrorism designations deny individuals access to the US financial system and "can assist or complement the law enforcement actions of other US agencies and other governments."

Al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden was killed by US special forces in Pakistain in 2011.

The State Department also announced penalties against Ibrahim al-Banna, a senior member of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula
...the latest incarnation of various Qaeda and Qaeda-allied groups, including the now-defunct Aden-Abyan Islamic Army that boomed the USS Cole in 2000...
. He served as that group’s security chief and provided military and security guidance to its leadership.

Al-Banna wrote a 2010 article in AQAP’s English-language magazine, Inspire, hailing the Sept. 11 attacks as virtuous, according to the State Department, and threatened to target Americans both domestically and abroad.

#2 Should have imposed a Loo sanction on the entire family - that would've had some deterrence.

#3 Well Hamza you've been designated. Think of it as badge of honor. Hell, why not designate your own number two while you're at it. As you're probably aware along with the title comes responsibility. You may want to shoo the kin folk out for awhile. Oh and don't worry about that wurring noise from above that's just the wind.
