Bin Laden's son in web terror rantBy SIMON HUGHES

THIS is Osama Bin Laden’s school-age son, who yesterday continued his father’s mission of hate — with a POEM begging for Britain to be destroyed.
Baby-faced Hamza Bin Laden — just 16 but already dubbed the Crown Prince of Terror — also ranted in his evil ode that the US and our other allies must be wiped out.
The teen declared in his demented ditty to fanatics: “Accelerate the destruction of America, Britain, France and Denmark.”He continued: “Oh God, reward the fighters hitting the infidels and defectors. Oh God, guide the youth of the Islamic nation and let them assist with the fighters’ plans.
“God, be pleased with those who want to go for jihad — and blind those who are watching and want to capture them.”
The vile verses, by the youngest of the al-Qaeda warlord’s 18 sons, appeared on an extremist website to mark three years since the 7/7 London suicide bombings killed 52 innocents. The poem urged: “Grant victory to the Taliban over the gangs of infidels.”
His words — believed to be recited by the lad himself — accompanied a short video clip featuring old footage of his dad.
A short introduction announced: “We now offer you a new poem by Sheikh Hamza Bin Laden, may God protect him.” Hamza — thought to be hiding on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border — is Bin Laden’s only son by his Saudi wife.
Respected terrorist expert Chris Dobson said: “Despite his youth he is emerging as Bin Laden’s likely heir.” Tory MP Patrick Mercer, a member of the Home Affairs Committee, said: “The sins of the father are being visited upon the son. We now have the Crown Prince of Terror taking up his father’s mantle.”
Author and internet terror expert Neil Doyle warned: “There’s been a rising level of extremist chatter online about attacks on Britain. The comments will add fuel to that.” Jacqui Putnam, who survived the 7/7 attacks, said: “It’s deeply distressing. He should be doing what any boy his age in any culture should be doing and finding out about life in a normal way.”
The Muslim Council of Britain also blasted the poem, branding al-Qaeda “mass murderers”.
