The US intelligence agency (CIA) has released the latest batch of documents recovered during the May 2011 raid on Osama Bin Laden's hideout, located outside the city of Abbottabad, Pakistan.
This batch of 470.000 files includes voice recordings, images, videos, and software, as well as personal photographs of the family of the deceased leader of the Al-Qaeda terrorist group.
The audiovisual files include a video of the wedding of Hamza Bin Laden, Osama's eldest son, whom Al-Qaeda was allegedly training to lead the terrorist organization. These are the first public images of him as an adult available.
Among the works of greatest interest are pages from Osama's personal diary, containing new information about the relationship between Al-Qaeda and Iran and an insight into the global leadership of the terrorist network, reported the US website The Hill.
One of the documents, allegedly written by a prominent member of Al-Qaeda, details the existence of an agreement with Iran: the terrorist organization would attack US interests in "Saudi Arabia and the [Persian] Gulf," receiving in return "money" and "weapons" and being offered "training in Hezbollah camps in Lebanon."
CIA Director Mike Pompeo emphasizes that this publication "offers the American people the opportunity to gain more information about the plans and workings of this terrorist organization."
Recently, US President Donald Trump reiterated his claim that Tehran fosters and supports terrorism in the Middle East, a claim vehemently denied by the Iranian government, escalating tensions between the two countries.
