Bin Laden wanted bulk of his fortune used ‘on jihad’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn his last will and testament, al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden claimed he had about $29 million in personal wealth — most of which he wanted to be used “on jihad, for the sake of Allah.”
The will is released in a batch of more than 100 documents seized in the May 2011 raid that killed bin Laden at his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
The al-Qaeda leader planned to divide his fortune among his relatives, but wanted most of it spent to conduct the work of the Islamic extremist terror network behind the September 11, 2001, attacks.
The documents are declassified and made public after a lengthy review by government agencies.
