Osama bin Laden's will, personal letters made public

• cnn.com

The documents show that he claimed to still be worth millions of dollars even as he struggled to remain relevant while his al Qaeda network splintered.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence released the newly declassified documents Tuesday. They were recovered during the May 2011 raid on bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in which he was killed.

His will, dated from the 1990s, was just one of many documents revealing that death never seemed to be far from bin Laden's mind.

In it, bin Laden said that he had $29 million in Sudan that he wished to be used on "jihad for the sake of Allah," while also directing a small portion of that figure to various family members. The whereabouts of the money are unknown.
