WASHINGTON: Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden outlined in letters and other documents how at least US$29 million of his funds and possessions should be apportioned after his death, requesting that most of it be used to continue global jihad.
One of the letters - part of a cache of 113 documents taken in the 2011 U.S. Special Forces raid that killed bin Laden - was described by US intelligence officials as what they believed was a last will.
Reuters and ABC Television were given exclusive access to the documents, which were translated from Arabic and declassified by US intelligence agencies.
They were part of a second tranche of documents seized in the operation and have been declassified since May 2015. A large number have yet to be released.
