Osama Bin Laden left £20million in will to be spent 'on jihad, for the sake of Allah'

TERROR boss Osama Bin Laden left more than £20million to fund Al Qaeda attacks on the West, his will reveals. 

Details of Osama Bin Laden's will, seized during the 2011 raid, have been released today

Released yesterday, it was seized along with around 100 other documents when Bin laden was killed by US Navy Seals at his lair in Pakistan in 2011.

It shows he wanted the bulk of his wealth to be used “on jihad, for the sake of Allah”. 

 

"We need to extend and develop our operations in America and not limit it to blowing up airplanes"

Bin Laden left the bulk of his £20m wealth to fund Al Qaeda’s jihad against the West

And his writings make clear his hatred and appetite for bloodshed.
Bin Laden, mastermind of the September 2001 terror attacks on the US, warned: “We need to extend and develop our operations in America and not limit it to blowing up airplanes.”
Letters also reveal his paranoia about security.

Bin Laden’s letters, also seized by the US, show he was intensely paranoid about security

In one, sent from Pakistan, he fretted over a visit by one of his wives to a dentist in neighbouring Iran – fearing a tiny CIA tracking chip could be hidden in one of her fillings.
He wrote: “The size of the chip is about the length of a grain of wheat.”
Bin Laden also cautioned against leaving the house “except on cloudy days” – apparently because he feared detection by US drones.

And the terrorist, aged 54 when he died, appeared to anticipate his death.
He wrote to his father in 2008: “If I am to be killed, pray for me a lot and give continuous charities in my name.”

But he was confident of victory, saying the US was “hanging by a thread”.
