Hamza bin Laden killed in U.S. raid in the Afghanistan/Pakistan region: White House
[KhaamaPress] The White House has confirmed that the U.S. forces killed Hamza bin Laden, the son of the late Osama bin Laden
...... who used to be alive but now he's not......
in the Afghanistan/Pakistain region.

According to a statement released by White House "Hamza bin Laden, the high-ranking al-Qa’ida member and son of Osama bin Laden, was killed in a United States counterterrorism operation in the Afghanistan/Pakistain region."
Is Quetta in the Afghanistan/Pakistain region? Is Abbottabad?
The statement did not disclose further information regarding the exact location where the U.S. forces conducted the raid.

However,
some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go...
the White House added that the loss of Hamza bin Laden not only deprives al-Qa’ida of important leadership skills and the symbolic connection to his father, but undermines important operational activities of the group.

The White House also added that Hamza bin Laden was responsible for planning and dealing with various terrorist groups.

#2 It was scuttlebutt that he was on the 'Stain army aviation plane that crashed into Rawalpindi. That Afghan intelligence and the American SAC had something to do with it nosediving into an army residential.

#3 I cannot help but notice the difference from the notice of his father's death. No details, no lib ass sniffing, no unit or methodology simply 'gone to room temperature, oh sometime in the last couple of years' . It's almost as though the adults were back in charge or something.

#4 the Afghanistan/Pakistain region

It occurs to me on second reading that President Trump was not necessarily referring to the border region between the two countries, but somewhere in the entirety of the two countries. So my questions about Quetta and Abbottabad are pretty silly.

You take a little ham from here and put a little ham over their. It's a zero sum game.
