Bin Laden son, AQAP leader added to US terror blacklist
A son of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and a senior leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula were added to the US counter-terrorism blacklist on Thursday, a move that bars US citizens from business with them, the State Department said.
The State and Treasury departments said they had designated Hamza bin Laden and Ibrahim al-Banna as global terrorists.

Bin Laden, a son of the deceased al Qaeda leader, has been declared a member of the group by senior leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, the State Department said. Ibrahim al-Banna is a senior member of AQAP who has served as the group`s security chief and has provided military and security guidance to AQAP leaders, the State Department said.

The United States has offered a $5 million reward for him.
