The letters, allegedly written by the late terrorist's son Hamza, now 28, are reportedly 'about vengeance'
Osama bin Laden's son has reportedly vowed to avenge his terrorist father's death with a chilling threat: "Americans, we're coming and you're going to feel it."
In personal letters found after the raid that killed his terrorist father in 2011, Hamza bin Laden, now 28, is said to have written: "We're going to take revenge for what you did to my father...Iraq...Afghanistan."
The letters, discovered in his compound in Pakistan after he was killed by Navy Seals in 2011, also said: "Every look...every smile you gave me, every word you told me. I consider myself to be forged in steel. The path of jihad for the sake of God is what we live for."

The claims were made by ex- FBI agent Ali Soufan in a forthcoming episode of American news show 60 Minutes.
He said: “The whole thing was about vengeance".
Mr Soufan was the bureau's lead investigator on al Qaeda after 9/11 and said plans for Hamza to take control were first formulated when he was still a child and used to appear in propaganda videos.

He also claims Hamza uses the same terminology and sentences that his father once used,

In 2015, Al Qaeda released an audio message of Hamza, calling for terrorist attacks in London, Washington and Paris.
He has recorded four of theses types of messages in the last two years.
