    "summary": "On the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Al-Qaeda released a 50-minute video featuring unseen footage of former leader Ayman Al Zawahiri and Hamza bin Laden, Osama bin Laden’s son, who was reportedly killed in 2019. The video aims to position Hamza as Osama bin Laden’s successor and includes declassified presidential daily briefs related to their operations.",
    "articleBody": "On the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Al-Qaeda released a 50-minute video titled \"A Quarter Century of the 11 September Raids\". The footage includes unseen images of slain Al-Qaeda chief Ayman Al Zawahiri and features Hamza bin Laden, Osama bin Laden’s son who was reportedly killed in 2019.\n\nHamza appears multiple times in the video, seated against a cracked mud wall, wearing a traditional white turban with an assault rifle beside him. The deliberate staging serves a dual purpose: establishing Hamza as Osama bin Laden’s successor while invoking the classic visual identity of early global jihadism. The video is the group’s single largest release of declassified presidential daily briefs, offering exceptional transparency into their operations and ideology.\nयह भी पढ़ें\nPutin Arrives in India for BRICS Summit\nJets Owner Reflects on 25 Years Since 9/11 Tragedy\nFormer CDS says Pakistan will remain a security threat",
