Osama Bin Laden’s personal diary, video of his son Hamza’s wedding and documentaries about himself were among files found on the al-Qaeda leader’s computer, the CIA has revealed.
Bin Laden’s computer was taken during the 2011 US raid in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad in which he died.
Some contents are being withheld over security or because they are corrupted or pornographic, the CIA said.
CIA director Mike Pompeo said the release included 18,000 documents, 79,000 audio files and images and more than 10,000 videos which shed light on the “plans and workings of this terrorist organisation“.
The footage released by the CIA as part of a trove of material found at Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan offers the first glimpse of his son, Hamza, as an adult.
The video shows Hamza bin Laden on his wedding day. Until now, the public has only seen childhood pictures of him. Osama bin Laden is not seen, but a man notes that the “father of the groom, the prince of the mujahedeen” is overjoyed about his son’s marriage, and his happiness will “spread to all the mujahedeen.”
