A SUPPOSEDLY dead son of al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden is commanding the evil network and has built a chilling militant dynasty, experts say.
Analysis suggests Hamza bin Laden, known as the Crown Prince of Terror, survived CIA attempts to kill him in 2019.
The claims he is secretly running al-Qaeda are worsened by intelligence reports his brother Abdullah is also entrenched in the network.
It means their father, the dead 9/11 plotter, has sired a terrorist network and dynasty hell-bent on murder across the world from beyond the grave.
Between them they have developed 10 major al-Qaeda terror training camps in Afghanistan and have forged global links with other West-hating groups, it is claimed.
Analysis suggests 34-year-old Hamza spends most of his time in Jalalabad, a terror hotbed 100 miles east of the capital Kabul.
POTENT
A report seen by the Mirror says: "Hamza bin Laden is not only alive but actively involved in al-Qaeda's resurgence, a fact well-known among senior Taliban leaders.
"These leaders... engage with him, holding regular meetings and securing him and his family.
"It highlights a deep connection between al-Qaeda and the Taliban, one that is crucial for Western governments to understand.
"[Hamza] has ascended to the leadership of al-Qaeda, steering [it] towards its most potent resurgence since the Iraq War.
"Under his command, al-Qaeda is regrouping and preparing for future attacks on Western targets.
