New York: Backing the US President Donald Trump in the presidential polls, Osama bin Laden‘s niece has claimed that another 9/11-inspired attack could happen if Joe Biden wins, a media report said.
The members of Osama family use the spelling “Ladin” instead of “Laden”, the report added, citing her statement.
Noor bin Ladin, who lives in Switzerland, said, "ISIS proliferated under the Obama-Biden administration, leading them into Europe. Trump has protected America from foreign threats by wiping out terrorists at the root. He restricts threats even before they get a chance to attack."
In her first-ever interview with the New York Post, Ms Ladin also said she’s always been an American by heart. She would be putting her support behind Trump for the upcoming poll, calling it the most important in a generation.

"Trump must be reelected. It's important for the future of America and western civilization as well. I wholeheartedly admire his dedication and work for the people," she added being an outspoken supporter of the President.
The 2020 election will be held under challenging circumstances.
It will be the first US election in over a century to be conducted during a pandemic, which is expected to lead to a massive surge in mail voting.
Trump has repeatedly railed against mail balloting, which he says without offering proof, will lead to widespread voter fraud. And for the first time in decades, both parties will be able to closely scrutinize who casts ballots due to a recent court ruling that wiped out tighter restrictions on poll monitoring.
