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 which killed 52 innocents. The poem urged, ''Grant victory to the Taliban over the gangs of infidels.'' His words believed to be recited by the youngster himself accompanied a short video clip featuring old footage of his father. 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. Terrorist expert Chris Dobson has been quoted in The Sun, ''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.'' The Muslim Council of Britain also blasted the poem, branding al-Qaeda "mass murderers".
