RIYADH, March 1 -- 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.

He is believed to have spent years with his mother in Iran, where his wedding is thought to take place, and he is suspected to still live there.
