$29M for Jihad as Bin Laden's Will

Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden left inheritance of around $29m (£21m) after being killed in a raid in 2011, his will shows.

Bin Laden was killed in the raid in the Pakistani town of Abbotabad

The will is among a trove of documents released to US media. It was seized in the US assault in Abbotabad, Pakistan.

Bin Laden urged his family to "obey my will" and to spend his inheritance on "jihad, for the sake of Allah".

He referred to the money as being in Sudan, but it is not clear whether it was cash or assets.

Bin Laden lived in Sudan for five years in the 1990s as a guest of the Sudanese government.

It is not known whether any of the money made its way to his heirs.

Other letters attributed to Bin Laden and released on Tuesday show that he:

Urged Americans to fight "catastrophic" climate change to "save humanity"

Feared that a dentist had planted a tracking device in his wife's tooth

Planned a major media campaign to mark the 10th anniversary of the 11 September attacks in the US

He also gave his assessment of the progress of the West's "war on terror" and the US military campaign in Afghanistan.

"They thought that the war would be easy and that they would accomplish their objectives in a few days or a few weeks," he wrote.

"We need to be patient a bit longer. With patience, there is victory!"

Bin Laden was killed by US special forces in May 2011 in a raid on his compound in Abbotabad, Pakistan.

The group has since been led by al-Qaeda's former second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Trump's Mock on Clinton, Clinton World: Criticism of Bill's High Demand on Wife's Campaign

Clinton World is scoffing at suggestions from Donald Trump and other Republicans. They said that Hillary Clinton is making a mistake in suggesting she’d give a major role in her White House on the issue of the economy to Bill Clinton. Trump has mocked the suggestion of putting the former president to work. “How can Crooked Hillary put her husband in charge of the economy when he was responsible for NAFTA, the worst economic deal in U.S. history?” the presumptive GOP presidential nominee tweeted on Tuesday. And former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) suggested that the promise of such a major role for Bill Clinton suggests he is effectively running for a third term. “The president of the United States has an actual job to create jobs, create wealth, create take home pay,” he said on Fox Business Network. “That’s Hillary’s job if she wants to be president. That’s not the first spouse’s job.” The Clinton camp sees Bill Clinton as a valuable asset and believes the GOP a...
