The terrorist once labeled the “world’s most wanted man” appears to have hidden more than just his location during his lifetime.The Central Intelligence Agency on Wednesday released a trove of 470,000 documents recovered from Osama bin Laden’s computer during the raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in May 2011.Some of the documents give insight into al Qaeda’s relationship with regional powers, including possibly Iran; others, like pages from bin Laden’s journal, give insight into the terrorist’s personal life and childhood. But perhaps most intimate and revealing are the files showing the terror mastermind collected movies like “Antz” and kept at least one file called “asss.gif” on his hard drive.Just about the only thing we don’t know for sure is what kind of pornography he was storing — CIA Director Mike Pompeo said ahead of the release that any pornography or copyrighted material would be withheld. (BroBible tried to FOIA these documents but was not successful.) But we were able to glean more-mundane revelations.For example, bin Laden lived in the compound with women and children, so we can’t say for sure his preferences included these animated films, but we also can’t say they didn’t:
