Saad bin Laden

Saʻd bin ʾUsāmah bin Muḥammad bin ʿAwaḍ bin Lādin, better known as Saad bin Laden, was one of Osama bin Laden's sons. While it was alleged by western sources that he was active in al-Qaeda, and was being groomed to be his heir apparent, these claims have been debunked by later information which has emerged. He was killed in an American drone strike in 2009. The U.S. said they were not specifically targeting him.
