Osama bin Laden's son and heir, Hamza, is dead, U.S. officials say
The officials would not provide details of how bin Laden died. The death occurred in the past 2 years, said the officials, but confirmation came recently.

"Occurred in the past 2 years" is quite the timespan.

This story appeared in the Daily Mail today on front page headline. You had to read halfway down the page where it said in small type he had been reported killed 2 years ago, but for some reason they blared out Trump was announcing it now.

It was so obvious this was plant that was supposed to make trump look like a powerful leader.

did. Was watching this morning when they did that and I thought to myself, well that happened a couple of months ago. Why are they doing this now. Strange.

by announcing a Bin Laden death. Except this is old news. And there is and was no drama to be had with it. And it seems timed to draw attention away from his emoluments mess and the dozens of other outrages Dump is responsible for. This guy is just pathetic.

The old story does not reveal how he died. Today's story says counter terrorism. Who knows with Trump though? Why does everything he says make the news?

ETA: The July story gives anonymous sources.
