The treasure trove of intel obtained in the raid that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden included a handwritten journal containing his “operational ideas”, a US official said Wednesday. The official described it as “just one of many things” found along with computers, hard drives, DVDs, flash drives and recording devices.
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), meanwhile, started showing US lawmakers photos of the slain bin Laden that American President Barack Obama said were too gruesome to be released to the public. Senator James Inhofe, a Republican from Oklahoma, said in an interview with CNN that the photos taken in the compound immediately after bin Laden was killed were pretty gruesome.
