[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A massive new trove of documents from the the late Osama bin Laden
... who is no longer with us, and won't be again...
files has been released to the public, BuzzFeed reported.

The files released more than six years after they were recovered in the US raid that killed the notorious al-Qaeda leader provide new insight into the man and into the workings of al-Qaeda.

They files also contain the first publicly available images of bin Laden’s son, Hamza, as a young man.

A report from the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point military college called the younger bin Laden, "Al-Qaeda’s leader in waiting."

The new files ‐ which contain the majority of those recovered during the raid ‐ number in the hundreds of thousands and include audio, video and text.

They have not yet been translated from Arabic according to BuzzFeed.

Research by Washington-based Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD), a think tank that was instrumental in pushing the US government to release the files, the documents include a video from Hamza bin Laden’s wedding, which the FDD believes took place in Iran, where Hamza spent years in a form of house arrest, it said.

Pages from bin Laden’s personal diary were made available as well as new information about al-Qaeda’s relationship with Iran, further insight into bin Laden’s relationship with al-Qaeda’s global networks and a deeper understanding of bin Laden’s leadership style.

#1 the Iran stuff is the most interesting. OBL was colluding and cooperating with the Shia big time (sort of like Obama).

#3 Yeah, I've always been amused at the smart set's dismissal of any possible collusion between Sunni and Shia; as if Nazis and Communists never cooperated, as if Muslim Terrs didn't get help from the Soviets, as if we never aligned with Communist China in the Cold War.
