Hamza bin Laden vowed to continue the international terrorist group's war against the U.S. 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 retaliation for your oppression of the Palestinian people, the people of Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, and the rest of the Muslim lands, who have been unable to survive under that oppression," Hamza said.

Hamaz said this was not just "revenge for Osama, but also for the defense of Islam."

Osama bin Laden was killed by US special forces in Pakistan in 2011, dealing a major blow to al-Qaeda, the organization responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001. Documents seized from bin Laden's home revealed that the terrorist leader's aides sought to unite militant leaders with Hamza.

Hamza, in his early twenties, was in Afghanistan with bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks and then moved to Pakistan. Hamza was introduced by al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in a message last year to give the terrorist group a "new look," which was struggling to inspire militants worldwide and compete with the Islamic State for influence.
