US source: Bin Laden not at Qaeda helm before raid
Qaeda leader no longer had any role in operations, a US expert who reviewed the evidence said. The expert, who asked not to be named, said the 200 pieces of evidence, notebooks, files, computers and USB drives, recovered by the US commandos who staged the raid in which he died, showed "it had been quite a while since he was involved in the day-to-day management of the organization."
"The writings we recovered are mostly general position papers, along the lines of 'We must continue to attack the US' or 'Can the Somali Shebab be trusted?" the source said. (AFP)
