$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.

Nigerian army Claims the Second Rescue of Chibok Girl

A second schoolgirl that was seized in the Nigerian town of Chibok has been found, the army says. But a spokesman for the Chibok girls' parents has cast doubt on the claims, saying that the girl's name is not on the families' list of those missing. An army spokesman said Serah Luka was among a group of 97 women and children rescued by troops in the north-east. Islamist militant group Boko Haram has abducted thousands of other girls in recent years, rights groups estimate. This comes two days after the rescue of the first Chibok girl, Amina Ali Nkeki. The army has previously given misleading statements about the rescue of the Chibok girls - in its initial statement after Ms Nkeki was found, it used a wrong name. In all, 218 girls remain missing after their abduction by the Boko Haram Islamist group from Chibok secondary school in north-eastern Nigeria in 2014. Ms Nkeki told a Chibok community leader that six of the kidnapped girls had died, but...
