Hamza bin Laden vowed to continue the international terrorist group's fight against the US and its allies in a 21-minute speech titled "We are all Osama", according to the SITE intelligence group.

"We will continue to attack you in America and abroad in response to your oppression of the people of Palestine, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia and the rest of the Muslim lands who could not survive under your oppression," Hamza said.

Hamaz said this was not only "revenge for Osama alone but also revenge for those who protect Islam".

Osama bin Laden was killed by US special forces in Pakistan in 2011, dealing a major blow to al-Qaeda, the group responsible for the September 11, 2001, attacks. Documents recovered from bin Laden's home show that the terrorist leader's aides sought to unite militant leaders with Hamza.

Hamza, in his early 20s, was in Afghanistan with bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks and later moved to Pakistan. Hamza was introduced by al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in a message last year to bring a "new look" to the terrorist group, which has struggled to inspire militants around the world and compete with the influence of the Islamic State./.
