The Navy SEALS had recovered the hard disk of Osama Bin Laden‘s Computer and on analysis it was found to contain Porn, when they killed Osama Bin laden in Abbotabad,Pakistan.
The pornography recovered in bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad,Pakistan, 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 bin Laden himself had acquired or viewed the materials.
Reports from Abbottabad have said that bin Laden’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 bin Laden watching pictures of himself on a TV screen, indicating that the compound was equipped with video playback equipment.
Materials carted away from the compound by the U.S. commandos included digital thumb drives, which U.S. officials believe may have been a principal means by which couriers carried electronic messages to and from the late al Qaeda leader.
“wondering how he was going to feed his wife and kids or pay for their medical care.
It was a mild spring day, April 2012, and our small group, including a few of his friends and family, was shielded from the sun by the patchwork shadows of maple trees. But the Shooter was sweating as he talked about his uncertain future, his plans to leave the Navy and SEAL Team 6.
He stood up several times with an apologetic gripe about the heat, leaving a perspiration stain on the seat-back cushion. He paced. I didn’t know him well enough then to tell whether a glass of his favorite single malt, Lagavulin, was making him less or more edgy.
We would end up intimately familiar with each other’s lives. We’d have dinners, lots of Scotch. He’s played with my kids and my dogs and been a hilarious, engaging gentleman around my wife.
In my yard, the Shooter told his story about joining the Navy at nineteen, after a girl broke his heart. To escape, he almost by accident found himself in a Navy recruiter’s office. “He asked me what I was going to do with my life. I told him I wanted to be a sniper.
“He said, ‘Hey, we have snipers.’
..
When I was first around him, as he talked I would always try to imagine the Shooter geared up and a foot away from bin Laden, whose life ended in the next moment with three shots to the center of his forehead. But my mind insisted on rendering the picture like a bad Photoshop job — Mao’s head superimposed on the Yangtze, or tourists taking photos with cardboard presidents outside the White House.
Bin Laden was, after all, the man CIA directorLeon Panetta called “the most infamous terrorist in our time,” who devoured inordinate amounts of our collective cultural imagery for more than a decade. The number-one celebrity of evil. And the man in my backyard blew his lights out.
ST6 in particular is an enterprise requiring extraordinary teamwork, combined with more kinds of support in the field than any other unit in the history of the U.S. military.
Journalist Phil Bronstein profiled the man in the March issue of Esquire, calling him only the Shooter — a husband, father and SEAL Team Six member who says he happened to pull the trigger on the notorious terrorist. It’s a detailed account of how the raid unfolded, and what comes after for those involved. The headline splashed across the cover reads, “The man who killed Osama bin Laden … is screwed.”
In a statement the Navy responded: “We have no information to corroborate these new assertions. We take seriously the safety and security of our people, as well as our responsibility to assist sailors making a transition to civilian life. Without more information about this particular case, it would be difficult to determine the degree to which our transition programs succeeded…
“They spent, in the case of the shooter, 16 years doing exactly what they’re trained to do, which is going out on these missions, deployment after deployment, killing people on a regular basis, ” said Bronstein, executive chairman of the Center for Investigative Reporting. “They finally get to the point where they don’t want to do that anymore.”
Bronstein reported that the man left SEAL Team Six in September. His family’s health care coverage ceased. Because he retired before the 20-year mark, he gets no pension.
The Shooter is judicious about the details of his story and hasn’t been involved in dramatic books, movies or video games that will make millions for some. It’s out of loyalty to his work and concern about his family’s safety, Bronstein said. The shooter worries what could happen if his name went public, like Matt Bissonnette, the SEAL whose identity was revealed after he published the book “No Easy Day” using a pseudonym. CNN can’t verify the account in Esquire, or the one in Bissonnette’s book.
‘What did Navy SEALMark Owen see when he and his teammates finally made it to the third floor of Osama bin Laden’s compound? Evidence that the 9/11 mastermind had extreme organizational skills. The personal possessions in bin Laden’s dresser and closet were tightly folded and evenly spaced, as if he were in Marine Corps bootcamp, said Owen. “Somebody there had to have had OCD.”
Is this a clever ruse to build a memorial for Osama Bin Laden without being overt about it ?
Story’:
Osama bin Laden and the compound in Abbottabad where he was killed
Officials were quick to insist there would be no link to the town’s most famous former resident but the project will be seen as an effort to rebuild the region’s image.
The three-billion rupee park (£20m) will eventually include restaurants, a snake house and ski ramps spread over 500 acres of land at the edge of the town.
Syed Aqil Shah, the provincial minister for tourism and sports, told the AFP news agency: “This project has nothing to do with Osama bin Laden.
“We are working to promote tourism and amusement facilities in the whole province and this project is one of those facilities..
Pakistan has tried to forget how bin Laden was found in Abbottabad, where he had been hiding in plain sight inside a high-walled villa for five years.
While security experts assumed he was roaming the remote, lawless tribal belt along the border with Afghanistan, he was actually living with three wives barely 30 miles from the capital Islamabad.
The hunt for the world’s most wanted man came to an end on May 2, 2011, when a team of Navy Seals killed the al-Qaeda leader.
His presence was deeply embarrassing for security agencies who were accused of either incompetence or of helping hide him.
His three-storey hideout has since been torn down to prevent it becoming a shrine for extremists. Its bricks were sold or given away for new homes.
Plans for the new park were unveiled on Monday by the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which said the site would take eight years to develop.
The Navy SEAL who shot Osama Bin Laden gave a vivid, blow by blow account of the dying moments of Osama bin Laden.

The Navy SEAL who claims he shot and killed Osama bin Laden in the famous raid which captured America’s most wanted terrorist has spoken for the first time about the moment he shot the al Qaeda three times in the head and watched him take his last breath.
The Team Six member – who is referred to as ‘The Shooter’ for the safety of his family – described in unforgettable detail the days leading up to the kill, the moment he shot bin Laden three times and the fallout from the raid.
Once they were given their mission, the woman at the CIA – made famous by Jessica Chastain‘s portrayal in Zero Dark Thirty – told the team bin Laden was ‘100 per cent on the third floor’ of his compound in Abbottabad in Pakistan.
‘We got him,’ she told us. ‘This is him. This is my life’s work. I’m positive.’
In an interview to appear in the March edition of Esquire magazine, The Shooter describes for the first time in unforgettable detail the tense and life-changing two minutes that changed the course of history.
Osama Killed.
Once he locked eyes on his target, he remembers being surprised at his appearance. Bin Laden was much taller than he expected him to be – taller than any of their guys, and skinny with a short beard and shaved head.
He was holding his wife Amal in front of him as a shield and though The Shooter could see exactly what was going on through night vision goggles, bin Laden was in total darkness and could hear but not see.
‘And he’s moving forward. I don’t know if she’s got a vest and she’s being pushed to martyr them both,’ he recalls. ‘He’s got a gun within reach. He’s a threat. I need to get a head shot so he won’t have a chance to clack himself off [blow himself up].
‘He was dead. Not moving. His tongue was out. I watched him take his last breaths, just a reflex breath.
‘And I remember as I watched him breathe out the last part of air, I thought: Is this the best thing I’ve ever done, or the worst thing I’ve ever done?’
‘In that second, I shot him, two times in the forehead. Bap! Bap! The second time as he’s going down. He crumpled onto the floor in front of his bed and I hit him again, Bap! Same place.
‘That time I used my EOTech red-dot holo sight. He was dead. Not moving. His tongue was out. I watched him take his last breaths, just a reflex breath.
‘And I remember as I watched him breathe out the last part of air, I thought: Is this the best thing I’ve ever done, or the worst thing I’ve ever done? This is real and that’s him. Holy sh**.
Osama Shot.
‘His forehead was gruesome. It was split open in the shape of a V. I could see his brains spilling out over his face. The American public doesn’t want to know what that looks like.’
The Shooter, a father-of-two, then describes the moments after the shooting and how the al Qaeda leader’s wife Amal launched herself at him screaming.
After zip tying her to the bed, he then realized bin Laden’s youngest son, who was about two or three years old at the time, had also witnessed his father being shot.
‘He was standing there on the other side of the bed. I didn’t want to hurt him, because I’m not a savage. There was a lot of screaming, he was crying, just in shock.
‘I didn’t like that he was scared. I picked him up and put him next to his mother.’
He said the third-floor action lasted for about 15 seconds. Afterwards, he remembered that he had a bottle of urine in his pocket the whole time, after having to relieve himself on the helicopter ride on the way in.
The Shooter’s interview in Esquire describes how the job led to the breakdown of his marriage, and claims the U.S. government largely neglect their veterans after they retire.
