Osama Bin Laden was a big anime fan

New details have been revealed about the once-upon-a-time most wanted man in the world, Osama Bin Laden and it turned out that along with a massive porn collection, his compound in Pakistan contained a bunch of retro games and anime.

For someone who professed a puritanical stance and outlook for the world, Bin Laden seemingly had a lot of hypocrisy in his life. Since the raid on his hiding spot and subsequent death in 2011, details have gradually emerged about his living conditions and day to day life. Although it was already known that he had been a large consumer of pornography, he also played a lot of retro games and even enjoyed anime like the Street Fighter 4: The Ties That Bind movie.

Other films he is said to have maintained copies of include: Antz, Cars, Chicken Little, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and The Three Musketeers. There also a number of full games, mostly emulated. They included the likes of Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil.

Bin Laden was clearly a fan of media related to him too, as his computer had copies of Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden, a CNN investigation on "In the Footsteps of bin Laden" and a biography on the same subject.

All of this has come to light with the release of several hundred thousand documents and files from Bin Laden's personal collection. The CIA has retained some information due to national security reasons and has also removed the porn and malware from the collection of digital files. However, it has now made the sanitized collection available to the public, so if you're interested, you
