Home Movies of bin Laden Watching Himself on The News

It was released today on the Al Jazeera English website and gives a shaky tour of what appears to be the inside of the main house, a few outbuildings and a small fruitless orchard.

The stash is part of a wealth of information collected during the U.S. raid that killed Bin Laden and four others last week.

The information suggests Bin Laden played a strong role in planning and directing attacks by Al-Qaeda and its affiliates in Yemen and Somalia, two senior officials said.

Information collected in the haul also suggests that top Al-Qaeda commanders and other key insurgents are scattered throughout Pakistan, not just in the rugged border areas as previously though, and are being supported and given sanctuary by Pakistanis.

Despite protests from Pakistan, defeating Al-Qaeda and taking out its senior leaders in Pakistan remains a top U.S. priority, demonstrated by the attempted assassination attempt on the man tipped to replace Bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen on Thursday.

The U.S. remains defiant despite complains from Islamabad that the raid on Bin Laden's compound violated the country's sovereignty, an anonymous senior defense official said yesterday.

But the U.S. is bracing itself for retaliation following the assissination with the Taliban in Afghanistan warning that Bin Laden's death will only boost morale of insurgents battling the U.S. and its NATO allies.

Al-Qaeda itself vowed revenge, confirming Bin Laden's death for the first time but issuing a chilling warning that Americans' 'happiness will turn to sadness'.

Following last week's raid, the U.S. has already launched a drone strike into Pakistan as well as the one in Yemen, in the days since bin Laden was killed.

The strikes have been out by pilotless CIA drones as U.S. military and intelligence officials attempt to take advantage of the data they swept up in the raid before insurgents have a chance to change plans or locations.
