SAS on top-secret mission to assassinate Osama Bin Laden’s son before he plans attacks

At least 40 SAS soldiers have been flown to Syria to hunt down Hamza Bin Laden and other operatives.

The SAS in a joint operation with the US are using spy planes, drones and voice recognition systems to find Hamaza and take him dead or alive.

A senior source told the : “Technology is at the forefront in tracking people such as Hamza, but a source on the ground who has identified him and gained additional intelligence is worth his weight in gold.

“To track someone you need to know where to look. We rely on local sources and you cannot beat the ‘Mark One Eyeball’ when it comes to human intelligence gathering.

“Hamza will be found sooner or later, he will make a minor mistake and we will be waiting for him.”

Hamza Bin Laden, 28, is said to be active and plotting terrorist attacks on the West.

He went into hiding just weeks before his father was shot dead by Navy Seals in 2011.

It was believed Hamaza was hiding in Pakistan but now intelligence suggests he has relocated to Syria.

Security forces have placed him on the top ten “high-value” targets hunted by Coalition Forces on Operation Shader.

Hamza spoke out in praise of “lone wolf” in a video released two years ago and is calling on more attacks against the West.

Letters found in a bunker where Osama bin Laden lived revealed that he was grooming Hamza to take over al-Qaeda.

Intelligence believes that his son’s ultimate goal is to take over control of the organisation.

There are three SAS sniper teams equipped with heavily armed 4x4s to track down Hamza.
