The 321 GB data volume contains nearly 470,000 documents, including many audio recordings, videos and text files stored in computers at the house where bin Laden was hiding with his wife and children in Abbottabad City (Pakistan).

The CIA also released a 228-page diary written by bin Laden himself in Arabic. CIA Director Michael Pompeo said the documents gave the American people a close look at the activities of the al-Qaeda leader.

It is noteworthy that bin Laden stored on his computer many Hollywood movies, cartoons and documentaries about himself.

According to the CIA, among the 10,000 videos, there are clips filmed by bin Laden's son showing the terrorist leader practicing his speech.
