Intelligence agencies warned he is "active" and has been plotting an attack on the West after his father's was killed US Navy Seals in 2011.
He disappeared from the remote compound at Abbottabad in Pakistan weeks before Osama bin Laden was killed.

Osama bin Laden led al-Aqida when suicide attackers hijacked aircraft and flew them into the World Trade Centre in September 2001.
At the time, he called it the start of global jihad.
The reappearance of his son in Syria lead to the CIA adding him to the US State Department's terror watch list.
He is now among the top 10 "high-value" targets and being pursued by Coalition forces deployed on Operation Shader, according to the Star.
40 SAS soldiers have joined forces with other units in a Joint Coalition Special Operations team and have been deployed to Syria on a covert mission to find Hamza.
They will be supported by hi-tech spy planes and drones that can detect communications.
