Slain Al-Qaeda Chief Osama bin Laden wanted to secure finances in the form of gold and foreign currency, documents revealed.
He directed his workers to buy gold, Euro, Kuwaiti Dinar and Chinese Yen from the money obtained through kidnapping from ransom, the New York Times reported.
In 2010 Bin Laden wrote a letter to Al Qaeda manager Atiya Abdur Rehman where he instructed him to buy gold from a reliable broker in Peshawar, the CIA revealed.
In the letter he predicted that gold prices will rise in the coming years. “If need arises sell foreign currency first. Leave gold till the very end,” he wrote.
