RIYADH, March 1 (Xinhua) -- Saudi Arabia revoked the nationality of Hamza bin Laden, son of late al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, Al Arabiya TV reported on Friday.

The Saudi Interior Ministry announced the issuance of a royal decree, granting approval of stripping the nationality of Hamza.

The United States offered a 1-million-U.S.-dollar reward for information on Hamza, seeing him as an emerging face of extremism.
