Documents seized by members of SEAL Team Six in 2011 from the Osama bin Laden compound were released on Wednesday and show what the terrorist kept in his personal library.
The Washington Post noted that the al-Qaeda leader had a large amount of English-language books including one about American counterterrorism called Imperial Hubris and another titled Obama’s Wars, about the Federal Reserve.
USA Today reported that the titles of the books were declassified by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and come a week after investigative reporter Seymour Hersh quoted a source that said “there were ‘no garbage bags full of computers and storage devices. The guys just stuffed some books and papers they found in his [bin Laden’s] room in their backpacks.’”
The White House, however, has since condemned those claims.
The release of "Bin Laden's Bookshelf" also comes four years after the SEAL Team raided the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on May 2, 2011 and killed the terrorist behind the 9/11 attacks.
