The late al-Qaeda leader - once the world's most wanted man - is shown strolling around compound in broad daylight
Incredible new images showing what life was like for Osama Bin Laden in his Tora Bora hideout have been revealed.
The late al-Qaeda leader is shown in one shot sitting in what looks like a cave and in another in full robes outside in broad daylight.
US special forces searched the mountains of Afghanistan for years to find the fugitive terror leader following the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington - but to no avail.
primitive and isolated compound Osama Bin Laden lived in until a Western bombing campaign forced him to flee.
The images resurfaced during the terrorism conspiracy trial in New York of Al Qaeda lieutenant Khaled al-Fawwaz, the Daily Mail reports.
They were taken by Palestinian journalist Abdel Barri Atwan.
Bin Laden had been the world's most wanted man since the 9/11 terror attacks on America in 2001.
He was tracked down to a compound in Abbottobad, Pakistan, and killed on 2 May 2011 in a raid by US special forces.
It was revealed last month that Bin Laden made terrorist recruits swear a mafia-style allegiance to his Al Qaeda cause, it has been revealed.
The 9/11 jihadist leader made those hoping to follow him say the words: "I accept your allegiance on behalf of Sheikh Usama, to listen and obey, in hardship and ease, and to follow whomsoever Sheikh Usama assigns to be my Amir on the jihad for the sake of God."
Prosecutors in the case of accused former Al Qaeda operative Abid Naseer revealed the oath as they wish to present it as evidence against him.
The Pakistani man accused of plotting with co-conspirators to bomb the New York City subway among other targets worldwide.
The oath adds that the aim of Al Qaeda was "for the establishment of the religion of God, and the rule of Islam that governs the law of God."
Recruits were also required "to memorize the secrets of the group," the documents reveal.
