బిన్ లాడెన్ కొడుకు, అల్ఖైదా వారసత్వ అధినేత హమ్జా బిన్ లాడెన్ మరణించినట్లు అమెరికా మీడియా సంస్థలు తెలిపాయి. ఇదే విషయాన్ని అగ్రరాజ్యానికి చెందిన కొందరు అధికారులు ధ్రువీకరించినట్టు ఎన్బీసీ న్యూస్ పేర్కొంది. అయితే హమ్జా మరణానికి సంబంధించి మరిన్ని వివరాలు వెల్లడించడానికి అధికారులు నిరాకరించారు. ఈ విషయంపై స్పందించడానికి అమెరికా అధ్యక్షుడు డొనాల్డ్ ట్రంప్ నిరాకరించారు.

అగ్రరాజ్య ప్రమేయమున్న ఆపరేషన్లో భాగంగా గత రెండేళ్లలో ఏదో ఒక సమయంలో హమ్జా మరణించాడని అధికారులు తెలిపినట్టు న్యూయార్క్ టైమ్స్ పేర్కొంది.

హమ్జాపై ట్రంప్ సర్కారు ఈ ఫిబ్రవరిలో మిలియన్ డాలర్ల నజరానా ప్రకటించింది. అంతకుముందే హమ్జా లాడెన్ మరణించి ఉండొచ్చని అధికారుల సమాచారం ప్రకారం తెలుస్తోంది.

2011 మేలో పాకిస్థాన్లో అమెరికా బలగాలు ఒసామా బిన్లాడెన్ను హతమార్చాయి. లాడెన్కు 20 మంది కుమారులు. వారిలో హమ్జా లాడెన్ 15వ వాడు. తన తండ్రి హత్యకు ప్రతీకారంగా ప్రపంచవ్యాప్తంగా అలజడులు సృష్టించాలని ఉగ్రవాదులకు పిలుపునిచ్చాడు హమ్జా.

"I must've stared for thirty seconds. I couldn't process. I've known Finn since the day they brought him home in 2000, 19 years ago. I still can't believe that this happened. I think there are some circumstances that we don't know about. I have a lot of questions."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Gloria Keeley, Elder's neighbor:
"He said he was strangled and the judge said I don't see any marks. He might have meant choked and I could see an officer going like that to his throat. I'm not excusing him for what he might have done but I just think there are some things that we don't know yet."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Gloria Keeley, Elder's neighbor:
"He was cute as a button, blonde hair. He was a typical teenager. The worst thing I saw him do was flick cigarette butts on neighbors' driveways but I've never seen him lose his temper, get mad. He was always nice to me. He did me a few favors through the years and it's just not like him. I don't know what else to say about that."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Gloria Keeley, Elder's neighbor:
"All of us (neighbors) are shocked. We don't know what to say when it happens that close. I'm good friends with the parents and the whole family. It's difficult to know what to say when something so awful happens."

STORYLINE:
Both American teens jailed in Rome in the fatal stabbing of an Italian police officer now have private lawyers and family members in Italy.
Ethan Elder, father of Finnegan Lee Elder, arrived at Rome's airport Wednesday on a flight from California. He didn't respond to questions shouted by reporters.
Investigators contend that his 19-year-old son stabbed Carabinieri Deputy Brigadier Mario Cerciello Rega 11 times with a military-style attack knife early Friday near the hotel where he was staying with his friend.
According to court documents, Elder told prosecutors during his interrogation that he thought he was being strangled in a scuffle with the officer.
But prosecutors say there were no signs of physical injury on either teen.
Under investigation along with Elder is his travel mate, Gabriel Christian Natale-Hjorth, 18, also from California. Natale-Hjorth's lawyer, Fabio Alonzi, said the teen's family visited him on Wednesday.
Under Italian law, both the defendant who materially carries out a killing and others involved in the crime can each be charged with murder.
A day earlier, Elder's mother, in San Francisco, told private Italian TGCom24 that the family was "heartbroken" over the officer's death. She added that the teens' travel plans "came together at the last minute."
Outside the Elder home Wednesday a neighbor reacted to word of the incident in Italy.
"All of us (neighbors) are shocked. We don't know what to say when it happens that close. I'm good friends with the parents and the whole family. It's difficult to know what to say when something so awful happens." Gloria Keeley said.
Prosecutors said police found the knife used in the slaying hidden in the dropped ceiling of the Americans' hotel room. Investigators said Elder told them he had brought the knife with him from the United States.
According to prosecutors, the police officer and his partner, both in plainclothes, had gone to the site of a rendezvous that had been arranged by the teens who were trying to get 100 euros ($112) and a gram of cocaine in exchange for returning a knapsack they had stolen from an intermediary in a drug deal gone bad.
Investigators contend that Elder thrust the knife repeatedly into Cerciello Rega and that Natale-Hjorth punched and kicked the other officer.
Investigators allege the two police were attacked immediately after they identified themselves as Carabinieri officers. The teens have contended that didn't realize the men were police.
