US Releases Letters From Bin Laden Compound

When US special forces raided Osama Bin Laden’s compound in Abbotabad, Pakistan in 2011, they recovered a cache of documents.

On Thursday the Combating Terrorism Center at the United States Military Academy released a selection of those documents, which shed some light on the inner workings of Al Qaeda under Bin Laden.

The World’s Marco Werman discussed the documents with the BBC’s Security Correspondent, Gordon Corera.
