美方官员近日透露，美军在突袭拉登住所时，在那里发现了大量色情影片。不过美方称尚不明确这些色情片的具体发现地点，也不清楚拉登本人是否看过这些影片。对拉登的住所搜查显示，整个院落并没有互联网或其他有线通讯网络连接，这些影片从何而来不得而知。不过，美军在拉登住所搜出的物件中包括不少U盘存储器，美方官员认为这些U盘可能是“基地”组织信使接送拉登电子指令的主要载体。

Osama bin Laden: pornography was found in his compound in Pakistan, according to US officials.

Pornography was found in the hideout of Osama bin Laden by the US commandos who killed him, US officials have said.

The pornography recovered in Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, consisted of modern, electronically recorded video and was fairly extensive, according to current and former officials who discussed the discovery on condition of anonymity.

The officials said they were not sure where in the compound the pornography was discovered or who had been viewing it. They did not know if Bin Laden himself had acquired the material, or viewed it.

Reports from Abbottabad have said that Bin Laden's compound was cut off from the Internet or other hard-wired communications networks and it is unclear how compound residents would have acquired the pornography.

A video confiscated from the compound and released by the Obama administration showed Bin Laden watching pictures of himself on a TV screen, indicating that the compound was equipped with video playback equipment.

Materials taken from the compound by the US commandos included digital thumb drives which US officials believe may have been a principal means by which couriers carried electronic messages to and from the al-Qaida leader.
