Saad bin Laden with his Father in an undated photo
It's believed he was killed by Hellfire missiles fired from a U.S. Predator drone sometime this year, according to NPR.org.
A senior U.S. counterterrorism official tells NPR that without a body to conduct DNA tests on, it's hard to be completely sure. But he characterized U.S. spy agencies as being "80 to 85 percent" certain that Saad bin Laden is dead.
The U.S. counterterrorism official says Saad bin Laden wasn't important enough to target personally -- that he was "in the wrong place at the wrong time."
He was active in al-Qaida, but was not a major player, the official said. He was believed to be in his late 20s.
"We make a big deal out of him because of his last name," the official added.
Saad continued in his father's bloody footsteps by maintaining a position within Al Qaeda, and is believed to have been heavily involved in the bombing of a Tunisian synagogue in 2002.
It's not known whether Saad bin Laden was anywhere near his father when he died.
