The Guardian/AFP: Osama bin Laden's son urges Syrian jihadis to unite 'to free Palestine'
Hamza bin Laden’s message comes days after al-Qaida leader called for unity – despite continued rejection of Islamic State.
The son of Osama bin Laden has urged jihadis in Syria to unite, claiming that the fight in the war-torn country paves the way to “liberating Palestine”.
“The Islamic umma (nation) should focus on jihad in al-Sham (Syria) ... and unite the ranks of mujahideen there,” said Hamza bin Laden in an audio message posted online. “There is no longer an excuse for those who insist on division and disputes now that the whole world has mobilised against Muslims.”
His undated message comes after al-Qaida’s leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, urged jihadis in Syria to unite, despite his continued rejection of Islamic State and its proclaimed caliphate.

WNU Editor: When children are abused they become one of two things when thy grow up .... they become abusers themselves, or the opposite and they try their best to do what is right and be an example for others. I guess the same can be said about the children of terrorists .... some become like their father, and others become something else.
