  "account": "Al-Qaeda released a video on Friday featuring the first footage of Osama bin Laden's son, Hamza, on the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Hamza, who was previously reported dead in a 2019 US operation along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, was seen as the designated heir to his father. The 50-minute video, titled \"A Quarter Century of the 11 September Raids,\" also includes images of slain Al-Qaeda chief Ayman Al-Zawahiri. The release aims to propagate the ideology associated with the current leader, Saif al-Adl, and recruit potential members. Hamza appears multiple times in the video, dressed in traditional garb and holding an assault rifle. His appearance underscores his status as a successor and evokes the classic visual identity of early global jihadism.",
  "summary": "Al-Qaeda has to date not acknowledged Hamza bin Laden's death or issued the customary funeral eulogy it usually does after its leaders are killed.",
