Noor bin Ladin is the niece of former Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and says only President Donald Trump can prevent another 9/11-style attack from happening, according to The New York Post.
The 33-year-old warned during an interview with the newspaper that she fears Democratic hopeful Joe Biden would allow another terrorist attack to happen, which was infamously orchestrated by her late uncle, Britannica added.
Bin Laden emphasized her support for Trump in the upcoming November election, The Post stated.
“I have been a supporter of President Trump since he announced he was running in the early days in 2015. I have watched from afar and I admire this man’s resolve,” bin Laden said during her first-ever media interview. “He must be reelected … It’s vital for the future of not only America, but western civilization as a whole.”
“You look at all the terrorist attacks that have happened in Europe over the past 19 years. They have completely shaken us to the core … [Radical Islam] has completely infiltrated our society,” she added. “In the US it’s very worrying that the left has aligned itself completely with the people who share that ideology.
The Switzerland resident blamed the development of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant on former president Barack Obama’s administration with Biden, which she says lead them into Europe, The New York Post continued.
Bin Laden expressed that Trump has proven that he can protect the United States from terrorist organizations, the newspaper disclosed.
“ISIS proliferated under the Obama/Biden administration, leading to them coming to Europe. Trump has shown he protects America and us by extension from foreign threats by obliterating terrorists at the root and before they get a chance to strike,” bin Laden said to the outlet.
