Pornography found in bin Laden’s hideout

US Navy SEALS discovered an extensive collection of pornography inside the secret hideout of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden during the raid that killed the world's most wanted terrorist, according to a report by the Reuters news agency.

Reuters said current and former US officials disclosed that the pornography found in the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, consists of "modern, electronically recorded video."

The officials were not sure if bin Laden had personally obtained the porn or whether he had viewed the videos.

The officials, who discussed the discovery with Reuters on condition of anonymity, 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 extensive collection.

Reports from Abbottabad have said that bin Laden's compound was cut off from the Internet and other hard-wired communication 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
