Even amid ancient viral YouTube videos and Western movies, 12 particular files are especially strange. It seems Osama Bin Laden (or someone at the compound) watched anime, in both an entertainment and pornographic context.
Osama bin Laden had a copy of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and a straight-to-DVD anime based on Street Fighter IV in his collection. The CIA still hasn’t made a statement on whether bin Laden slept with one of those big pillows with a picture of an anime girl on it, but we’re going to go ahead and say the answer is probably “yes.”
Osama Bin Laden was the leader of terrorist group Al-Qaeda from its creation in the late 80s until his death in 2011 as a result of a US military operation.
But the most delightful discovery on Osama bin Laden’s Steam account has to be that he played Counter-Strike, the classic online game where terrorists fight against counterterrorists. [9] Because that means that, if you played Counter-Strike between 2001 and 2011, there’s a chance you killed bin Laden.
TIL Osama Bin Laden was a fan of Japanese Otaku culture with a collection of games including Final Fantasy VII, Dragon Ball Z, and Erotic Games.
A massive amount of intelligence was seized during the raid, including hundreds of thousands of files stored on Bin Laden's hard drive. Today, the CIA released nearly 470,000 of those files, and it turns out that not only was he the world's most infamous terrorist, he also had a thing for retro-gaming and anime.
Coordinates: 18°N 66°EOsama bin Laden, the founder and former leader of al-Qaeda, went into hiding following the start of the War in Afghanistan in order to avoid capture by the United States and/or its allies for his role in the September 11, 2001 attacks, and having been on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list ...
Apparently there was a ton of Naruto found on the drive, alongside Bleach and Dragon Ball.
Osama Bin Laden was an anime fan and played pirated Naruto games.

Osama bin Laden—also known as Usama bin Laden—was a violent terrorist and mass murderer who used bombings and bloodshed to advance his extremist goals.
Husain Haqqani the former-Pakistan Ambassador to the United States, who earlier said both countries "cooperated in making sure" that the operation leading to bin Laden's death was "successful", has admitted that Osama bin laden indeed had a support system in Pakistan, albeit without the Pakistani government being privy ...
In the first weeks of 2011, Osama bin Laden was worried. For five years, he had concealed himself and his extended family—wives, children and grandchildren—in a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, but now it appeared that his carefully constructed hideaway was coming apart.
The Soviet Afghanistan war is an integral part of the history of 9/11. The CIA decided to arm the Afghan resistance fighters (mujahedeen) to repel the Soviet invasion as part of the larger cold war strategy. After the Afghan victory, the US stopped financially supporting the Afghans.
Earlier today the CIA released over half a million files recovered from Osama Bin Laden's hard drive and, according to PC Gamer, Bin Laden was apparently a closet anime nerd.
Be that as it may, plenty of anime was found on that hard drive. Apparently there was a ton of Naruto found on the drive, alongside Bleach and Dragon Ball.
The string of numbers and letters is largely irrelevant, but the first clue is MSOMS-ANIME. Msoms-anime.net happens to be the name of an Arabic-language anime forum . According to web metrics company Alexa, it’s the 2,191st most popular page in Saudi Arabia. Within the forum, MCT appears to be a section dedicated to fan translations, and the wonderfully-named “nooood” is a user responsible for many such translations.
Image: CIA.gov. Today the CIA released close to 470,000 files recovered from the compound in Pakistan where US forces killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011. The files include Bin Laden’s journal as well as audio and video files from devices seized throughout the Abbottabad compound.
As to that bracketed 534—that’s an episode number. Few anime series run that long, and the only translation matching that number we could find on msoms-anime.net was “The New Scar and the Whistling Man,” an episode of the shonen series Detective Conan, also known in the West as Case Closed. Stranger still, the pirated episodes available span from episode number 452 to 550, but only 12 are present.
First noticed by David Thorpe, someone at the compound possessed an enormous library of sad jack-off games. Was it the same person watching Detective Conan out of order? And was that person Osama Bin Laden? We may never know, but now we’re stuck thinking about it.
Even amid ancient viral YouTube videos and Western movies, 12 particular files are especially strange. It seems Osama Bin Laden (or someone at the compound ) watched anime, in both an entertainment and pornographic context.
Those naturally include standbys like New Super Mario Bros and Animal Crossing: Wild World. His tastes also ran alongside the otaku, with plenty of Naruto, Bleach, and Dragon Ball games in the list, on top of the complete Devil May Cry anime series.
That includes Al-Qaeda correspondence, video files, propaganda, draft materials, and Bin Laden’s personal journal. It also includes loads of copyrighted materials, including films ranging from Antz to Resident Evil, loads of videogames, and a substantial collection of anime. Even Final Fantasy VII makes an appearence, with evidence of sequel movie Advent Children having been watched.

Videos you watch may be added to the TV's watch history and influence TV recommendations. To avoid this, cancel and sign in to YouTube on your computer.
Bin Laden watched some weird stuff, too. He had videos of girls brawling, horses dancing, and a video called “Tootin’ Baththub Baby Cousins.” That last one is a video of two cartoon babies tooting in the bathtub while singing, “When you feed us beans there’s trouble!” and “Don’t push too hard, you might go number two!”
Osama bin Laden had a whole selection of Hollywood cartoons on his computer. Most of them were Disney movies like Cars and Chicken Little, but he wasn’t brand-loyal. Bin Laden had copies of Ice Age, Ants, Tom and Jerry, and even some episodes of that old kids’ cartoon Jackie Chan Adventures .
According to Boof, bin Laden talked about having Houston’s husband, Bobby Brown, killed so that he could marry her and move her into one his mansions. He never worked up the nerve, though, to give Houston a call. So, instead, he’d just dress Boof up like the pop singer and pretend.
He took his appearance on TV really seriously. Osama bin Laden was graying, but to keep himself looking good for his adoring audience, he would dye his hair black before filming all those threatening videos.
Osama bin Laden’s computer had a 174 gigabytes’ worth of videos. He spent nearly ten years in hiding, and he had to pass the time somehow. Since his compound didn’t have Internet, he’d have a courier download stuff off of YouTube and bring it to him on a flash drive—and, as it turns out, bin Laden was watching pretty much the same stuff we were.
While he was hiding, Osama bin Laden would walk around Pakistan with a cowboy hat on his head so that he wouldn’t be recognized. It actually worked, for some inexplicable reason. About a year after 9/11, bin Laden was pulled over for speeding and got off free.
And, finally, bin Laden had a whole series of images with names like “asss.gif, ” “booby_2.jpg,” and—perhaps most revealingly of all—“1dick.jpg.”
Six and a half years ago, forces raided Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, killing the 9/11 mastermind and seizing computers and files from his living quarters. Earlier this week, the CIA authorized the release of documents (that link will probably be down because so many people are trying to view it) showing what was on bin ...
Jason Sudeikis remembers the time that Chris Rock nearly derailed his "SNL" audition.
He was also into DS games: It seems Bin Laden — or whoever else used his computer — was a connoisseur of emulated DS titles, judging by the ".sav" entries populating his file index. Those naturally include standbys like New Super Mario Bros and Animal Crossing: Wild World.
Aswad Khan declined to become an FBI informant. His friends began getting questioned at the U.S. border.
He Had A Lot Of Anime. It's hard to imagine an old terrorist like Bin Laden sitting around playing video games, but it's even harder to imagine Bin Laden bunched up in front of glowing screen watching anime. Be that as it may, plenty of anime was found on that hard drive.
Bojji, a deaf, powerless prince who cannot even wield a children's sword. As the firstborn son, he strives hard and dreams of becoming the world's greatest king. However, people mutter about him behind his back as "a good-for-nothing prince" and "no way he can be king."
