唐纳德·特朗普总统证实奥萨马·本·拉登的儿子已在美国一次反恐行动中被击杀。

A statement from the White House said: "Hamza bin Laden, the high-ranking al Qaeda member and son of Osama bin Laden, was killed in a United States counter-terrorism operation in the Afghanistan/Pakistan region.

白宫的一份声明中说：“基地组织高级成员哈姆扎·本·拉登是奥萨马·本·拉登的儿子，在阿富汗/巴基斯坦地区的美国反恐行动中被击杀。”

"The loss of Hamza bin Laden not only deprives al Qaeda of important leadership skills and the symbolic connection to his father, but undermines important operational activities of the group.

“哈姆扎·本·拉登被杀不仅使基地组织失去了一位重要领导以及与他父亲的象征性联系，也破坏了该集团的重要业务活动。”

"Hamza bin Laden was responsible for planning and dealing with various terrorist groups."

“哈姆扎·本·拉登负责策划和对付各种恐怖组织。”

The high-ranking al Qaeda figure was rumoured to have been killed in August.

曾有传言说这位基地组织高级成员在八月份被杀。

The New York Times reported at the time that it had spoken to two officials who confirmed the death and said the US had played a role in the operation "but it was not clear how".

《纽约时报》当时报道称已从两位官员那里证实了他的死亡，并说美国也参与了行动，“但不清楚是如何参与的”。

When asked about the claims back then, President Trump declined to comment.
