A stash of pornography was found in the hideout of Osama bin Laden by the US commandos who killed him, current and former US officials said on Friday. The pornography recovered from the compound in Abbottabad consists of modern, electronically recorded video and is fairly extensive, according to the officials, who discussed the discovery with Reuters on condition of anonymity.
The officials said they were not yet sure precisely where in the compound the pornography was discovered or who had been viewing it. Specifically, the officials said they did not know if Osama himself had acquired or viewed the materials. Reports from Abbottabad have said that Osama’s compound was cut off from the Internet or other hard-wired communications networks.
It is unclear how compound residents would have acquired the pornography. But a video released by the Obama administration confiscated from the compound showed Osama watching pictures of himself on a TV screen, indicating that the compound was equipped with video playback equipment.
