Former al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was worried that his wife’s tooth contained a tracking device, according to documents recently declassified by U.S intelligence agencies.
In his handwritten will, he claimed he had around $29 million in personal wealth. He wanted the bulk of it to be used “on jihad, for the sake of Allah.”
Bin Laden, who was killed by a Navy SEAL team in May 2011, expressed worry over his wife’s visit to a dentist in Iran. He worried that a tracking chip would be implanted in her filling, Reuters reported.
The 113 documents are mostly dated between 2009 and 2011, officials told the news agency.
“It is important to get rid of the suitcase in which the funds are delivered, due to the possibility of it having a tracking chip in it,” bin Laden said in a letter to an aide that was identified only as “Shaykh Mahmud.”
