美方官員近日透露，美軍在突襲拉登住所時，在那里發現了大量色情影片。不過美方稱尚不明確這些色情片的具體發現地點，也不清楚拉登本人是否看過這些影片。對拉登的住所搜查顯示，整個院落并沒有互聯網或其他有線通訊網絡連接，這些影片從何而來不得而知。不過，美軍在拉登住所搜出的物件中包括不少U盤存儲器，美方官員認為這些U盤可能是“基地”組織信使接送拉登電子指令的主要載體。

Osama bin Laden: pornography was found in his compound in Pakistan, according to US officials.

Pornography was found in the hideout of Osama bin Laden by the US commandos who killed him, US officials have said.

The pornography recovered in Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, consisted of modern, electronically recorded video and was fairly extensive, according to current and former officials who discussed the discovery on condition of anonymity.

The officials said they were not sure where in the compound the pornography was discovered or who had been viewing it. They did not know if Bin Laden himself had acquired the material, or viewed it.

Reports from Abbottabad have said that Bin Laden's compound was cut off from the Internet or other hard-wired communications networks and it is unclear how compound residents would have acquired the pornography.

A video confiscated from the compound and released by the Obama administration showed Bin Laden watching pictures of himself on a TV screen, indicating that the compound was equipped with video playback equipment.

Materials taken from the compound by the US commandos included digital thumb drives which US officials believe may have been a principal means by which couriers carried electronic messages to and from the al-Qaida leader.
