U.S. Releases Documents Found In Osama Bin Laden Compound

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – On Wednesday, the United States made public more than 100 papers seized during the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

Questions like, "Who should we contact in case you become a martyr?" are reportedly asked by al Qaida to recruits on one document that reads like a job application.

In other the documents, bin Laden urges fighters to focus on attacking Americans and mocks the war on terrorism.

All of the declassified papers can now be viewed online at a webpage called "Bin Laden's Bookshelf."
