It is incumbent upon our people in the Arabian Peninsula to prepare the equipment and materials, and prepare to protect the Two Holy Mosques. Hamza bin Laden

In the latest in a series of videos recorded by Hamza bin Laden, son of the former Al-Qaeda mastermind, he exhorted "our dear people in the Arabian Peninsula" to rise up "against the criminal tyrants and rulers of the country”. He added that al-Qaeda also wanted to incite people "to liberate the place of revelation from the Crusaders, and protect the Two Holy Mosques from the Safavids, and establish a complete and rightly guided Islamic system”. Bin Laden's heir promised al-Qaeda would "redistribute the riches of the country among the poor and the needy and the deserving, so that the sons of the country can live honourably and in strength in the shade of the Shariah of the Lords of the Worlds”. He said: "It is incumbent upon our people in the Arabian Peninsula to prepare the equipment and materials, and prepare to protect the Two Holy Mosques.”

He also called for people to support Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsular (AQAP) "with money and men”, adding: "Oh Muslim merchants, this is a chance for he who wants to obtain the honour of preparing an army to protect the Two Holy Mosques, and oh young Muslims, go forth lightly and heavily to your mujahidin brothers in Yemen the Land of Faith, to prepare the equipment and gain the necessary experience from them.” Bin Laden blasted the Saudi ruling family's "loyalty transformed from Britain to America with the end of the Second World War, after the British star faded, and the American star appeared in its place”, which saw a new alliance forged between US President Franklin D Roosevelt and former Saudi King Abd al Aziz. He said “the meeting of Abd al Aziz with Roosevelt was not ordinary but rather was a dangerous and fateful meeting that dragged the Islamic Ummah into calamities and disasters”. He said this “resulted in the establishment of stronger relationships with America at the expense of Britain, and Ibn Sa'ud agreed to allow American ships”.

He added America was allowed to use a large air base, and the American army had “for a period of five years, then returned after that to as Sa'ud with all the facilities built in it”. He added: ”This was a dangerous step, the first beginning of the military crusader presence in the Land of the Two Holy Places." Describing King Abd al Aziz, the founder of Saudi Arabia, as "the greatest traitor”, he said: "His sons and grandchildren still walk on the same path as their father.” Now in his late 20s, bin Laden was officially brought into the family business two years ago and was designated a terrorist by the United States in January 2017.
