Opening Up Bin Laden's Secret Hard Drives | Investigators
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лис 2023
- Thousands of documents and letters were seized by Navy Seals during the mission that killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011. When they were declassified in 2017, Nelly Lahoud spent years translating and analyzing them, gaining an unprecedented insight into the man behind 9/11.
For the first time, we discover how Al Qaeda’s capabilities were overestimated, what life was like in hiding in Pakistan, the family dynamics, and hear Nelly’s own version of events that led to Bin Laden’s capture.
Nelly Lahoud is the author of ‘The Bin Laden Papers, How the Abbottabad Raid Revealed the Truth about Al-Qaeda, Its Leader, and His Family.’
Correction: We have fixed the audio issues that were in this video.

I love how this video never discusses ANYTHING regarding what was actually on any of the drives
Read the book, right?
Yea its annoying, its like an ad for the book
Thanks the for heads up. Disliking the video
@@halakajajajaj😅🎉
I have read the book. She (the author) is in fact discussing what was on the hard drives. In the book she explains that Usama did not have internet access (for security reasons) and that many of his "letters" were shared electronically via USB and other drives. So the drives were primarily letters and correspondence.
Summary:
No hard drive info discussed.
Book is being publicized.
Music is clearly more important than the speaker.
Viewers want to know::
How does vice manage to make such crappy videos and still end up in everyone’s recommended?
Chances are its just a propaganda piece.
thanks, now I don't have to watch this
Much true, but, it is an entry into more inquiry and questions would love to see a better summarised vid about this any1 have a link? Rumble yt etc?
Because UA-cam is apart of the leftist/liberal pushing media, and VICE is the best at propaganda.
Vice went from Soros owned to Saudi propaganda which might explain this very informative piece...

As a native arabic speaker , those "letters" are written by a non-native arabic speaker. Take a screenshot @ 5:59 and 7:41 and ask a Native arabic speaker ,what he thinks ? 😅
@@BrokeImmigrantInc. thank you for pointing out these discrepancies was almost to believe Bin is as evil as they wanted him to be .
@@BrokeImmigrantInc. As a native Arabic speaker, it seems the letter is a translation of an English writing.
But why would he write letters in english ??@@SA_Rocket
Don't get me wrong , he's one evil mofo lol@@drive-2786
"Based on all the papers" and by that she means "all the papers the pentagon decided to release" 😂😂😂😂
Or all the papers the pentagon has created. Everything is possible. 😅
😂😂😂😂
or rolling papers
Why is the audio quality so terrible? The bg music is way too loud and seems completely random to what's being shown.
Yea it true at 9:10 its so loud u can bearly hear her spaeking
Vice is on autopilot until collapse
its because they literally have interns creating web content since they are bankrupt. hence the lower quality and re=hashing old stories
@@halakajajajaj you mean 9:11? HayoooooooooOOOO
@@samward7921wow😢
Long story short : Bin ladens daughter helped him write his letters. His son was depressed about whole incident. He was captured through the couriers he send.
Thanks CatGPT
Wish I’d seen this comment eleven minutes ago, lol.
@@iterativegrowth Most of these videos have only 2-3 points to make which they extrapolate to 20 - 40 minutes 😶🌫️
@@mallukittens177 exploit that CatGPT name and use it for stupidly long videos
@@iterativegrowth😂
5:54 the papers that were written in Arabic actually says that they founded medicines for the children which cures children such as cold flu etc and the next paragraph says and they founded medicines for older people. Idk where Vice got the security information and the shopping thing from😂.
'Founded' means built something from the ground.
Did you mean They made their own medicine? Or they 'found' medicine out of nowhere just magically appeared near them?
Do you think the papers at 5:59 and 7:41 are written by a native arabic speaker ?
Just like the letter with the weekdays names😂
@@shabrinaz9877 Probably he meant "funded" you know when you pay for something.
Not "founded", actually they knew the medications that prescribeding to children in these situations and get a lot of it and kept it until they need it.
This leaves me with more questions than answers.
My favorite part was when the lady was whisper talking and the extremely loud planetarium synth music was drowning out everything she was saying
I especially liked that it was at a pivotal part of the recording
someone at Vice bout to drop the sickest ambient EP of 2023
Exactly. So distracting
The video editor needs to be let go
fake.
Yo soundguy, easy on the levels man, I'm trying to hear this woman
hear deez nuts 🥜
i was just about to say!
Thank you for saying this !!
Yeah, this is ridiculous. How does something this simple slip through? A 10 year old can tell you it's too loud and even how to fix it.
I didnt even notice it, but im watching on a laptop, maybe its different on a TV or phone?
This is the Vice that I signed up for. Well done.
Wow.. impeccable timing guys.
Amazing.
You literally can't hear what she's saying half the time with how loud the background music is, Vice.
you literally can't hear
i heard every word
Change your headphones
It's a perfect mix. You need new speakers
@@thedappercook lol no not at the end
I can hear every word.
I missed the part where they showed anything from the harddrives 😂
You know the content's been released to the public since 2016 and is just a Google search away, right?
@@craggleshenanigansso that's why they can't show anything from it
Lazy
@@craggleshenanigansyou know this video’s title implied it did that for us. But it didn’t. That’s all the OP is pointing out. Dunce hats
@@craggleshenanigansat least 125 likes would agree vs ……just you.
Very interesting, again well done for returning to real journalism. This is whats makes the world better vice!
back in the day nobody had computers. we had to write on paper hard drives and send them through a courier
You need to play that background music louder. I could still hear the author.
lmfaoo
🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 yoooo
Music is a little too loud at times. Overall and as always from Vice great journalism!
"As always"?
That's a damn funny joke.
Absolutely. How is the bg sound fill louder than the narrator / speaker's voice? The sound mixing is a joke, completely amateur. @@lostinspace4417
You have volume rocker, they meant to use
turn on loudness equalization if your on windows, it will make all volumes more balanced
I agree with u, too loud
This man was not brought infront of a jury and tried, we did not get to hear what he has to say, this isnt justice.
And the people killed in 9-11 didn't get justice so why should he ?

@@berniesully9173 What do you mean by that?
Are you saying the president of the united states is a war criminal for being at the head of the atrocities in which a thousand fold in innocent casualties occured, in which TRILLIONS of your dollars were stolen from you to give to weapon makers?
What do you mean?
@@berniesully9173 Is this right?
"Dilawar, who died on December 10, 2002, was a 22-year-old Afghan taxi driver and farmer who weighed 122 pounds and was described by his interpreters as neither violent nor aggressive.
When beaten, he repeatedly cried "Allah!" The outcry appears to have amused U.S. military personnel.[citation needed] The act of striking him in order to provoke a scream of "Allah!" eventually "became a kind of running joke," according to one of the MPs.[citation needed] "People kept showing up to give this detainee a common peroneal strike just to hear him scream out 'Allah,'" he said.[citation needed] "It went on over a 24-hour period, and I would think that it was over 100 strikes."
On the day of his death, Dilawar had been chained by the wrists to the top of his cell for much of the previous four days.
A guard tried to force the young man to his knees. But his legs, which had been pummeled by guards for several days, could no longer bend. An interrogator told Mr. Dilawar that he could see a doctor after they finished with him. When he was finally sent back to his cell, though, the guards were instructed only to chain the prisoner back to the ceiling.
"Leave him up," one of the guards quoted Specialist Claus as saying. Several hours passed before an emergency room doctor finally saw Mr. Dilawar. By then he was dead, his body beginning to stiffen.
It would be many months before Army investigators learned a final horrific detail: Most of the interrogators had believed Mr. Dilawar was an innocent man who simply drove his taxi past the American base at the wrong time
Music around @9:00 is too loud … thank you for posting something I was literally thinking about the other day :)
This is the first time that I've experienced audio issues with VICE. Whatever was done, it was highly distracting from the important content/info being shared.
Вопрос, почему ваши мусульмане бегут не в страны ислама, где у вас одна вера, один народ, обычаи, климат даже еда, а в страны Запада к неверным кафирам . Во-вторых, почему ваши исламские страны, такие как Саудовская Аравия, страны Персидского залива и т. д., не принимают своих беженцев, мусульман единоверцев, в-третьих, почему вы со всех сторон повторяете, что ислам - это религия справедливости и равенства, но вы этого не делаете.Не допускайте неверных кафиров-зимми в ваши города Мекку и Медину, но вас пускают везде, в Ватикан, в храмы Будды Кришны, Стену Плача, Храм Христа Спасителя и другие святыни разных вероисповеданий. Разве это не расизм, фашизм и деление людей на людей первого сорта, то есть вас, мусульман, и прочих второсортных унтерменшей? А также почему у вас предусмотрена смертная казнь для мусульман, принявших другую веру и оставивших ислам, и в то же время вы ведете открытую пропаганду в странах Запада и других неисламских странах по продвижению вашего ислама и даже создаете там шариатские ополчения, хотя это является прямым нарушением конституций тех стран Запада, в которых вы живете, принявших вас в качестве беженцев, но при этом вы запрещаете пропаганду в своих странах любой другой веры, кроме ислама, и за это подвергаетесь смертная казнь. Разве это не расизм и исламский фашизм?

The background music was too loud, drowning the reporter's audio at times. But otherwise very interesting and informative.
@@user-fb1dr1pv7eОчень интересные наблюдения, никогда не думал об этих двойных стандартах. Хотя с итоговым выводом я не совсем согласен, потому что это явление должно классифицироваться иначе, нежели расизм или фашизм, потому как в фактических обстоятельствах отсутствуют важные признаки, присущие этим явлениям.
@robertporter8974 not informative AT ALL, are you high?
Vice is finally doing real journalism again.
It took ‘em a video but they’re there again 😊
@@Supreme-SEF good? Bad? A person cannot be GOOD or BAD. A person can do BAD things and GOOD things. Only Christ and His mother were born GOOD, were GOOD and DIED GOOD.
@@laverdadescatolica5 Vice News tonight was great when it was on HBO, and then around 2018 it started going down hill. They really are trying now.

no😂
Seriously, whoever decided to crank the dramatic music over the vocal audio needs to find a different vocation.
Guys, does anybody knows where i can find the music in the background between minute 0:48-1:07
Damn i guess Bin Laden's hard drives were made of paper
Well, their religion is like 500 years behind the other big religions, they never had an enlightenment era, still stuck in dark ages pretty much, stoning, beheadings, hangings etc etc, so it makes sense their computers are just paper. In 480 years or so they will invent the fax machine over there and then we're in big trouble, because fax machines was the peak of human engineering.
right? wtf was she even talking about, bs click bait video
Hard copies.
There is not a single word about the contents of the Hard Drives.... Vice, WTH?
www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/index.html
Yeah, wtf is this click bait garbage.
I'd like to hear more about the other files and media on there too, but the point is that the letters were on the hard drives.
This is extremely interesting! Thank you, part 2 will be welcome!!!
Looks like some audio issues woth too loud music at the end

Bin Laden was the person who made America want a 2 state solution to the Palestinian/Israeli conflict because it noted that he’s the reason on his letter to America papers now online
It's a well known famous quote.
Which is why critical thinking used to be important for humanity.
Now ,that we have entered subhumanity, I would suggest......
Please make another part on this!! It’s so interesting
Could we have an episode about thosw secret hard drives?
Tell the sound mixer that ~ 9:00 it gets absolutely bananas.
If they don't discuss the hard drives.....isn't that click bait. Ugh. They got me.
Awesome reporting. Would have been even better if we could all hear it.
hmm... is this documentary (or whatever it's called) just try to promote the book? that's true tho it feels like the so many atuff that missing
@@muhammadawaludinnurfauzi4693 Diego is talking about the music being too loud
@@hikiwi ou... sorry... I thought he was talking about the information the she told to us🤣🤣🤣
I thought that was an issue with my phone 🤣 just an editing goof
Clean the wax out of your ears BUD.... what a piece of work you are BUD
great reporting, good to see vice back. Da faq is going on with the music though !
Thanks 😊
I do give Vice props for the (serious) topics they chose to cover. It encourages me to do further research into whatever subject catches my interest. Keep me from slacking on an intellectual front, I guess you can say. Especially since finishing my BA.
I'll be looking into this book for sure. So thanks.
Mind Begs the Question:
- CIA caught sleeping by Al Qaida
- Mossad caught sleeping by Hamas
- Coincidental?
There work for the feds
I smell a fake.
@@linanicolia1363 yea sure whatever.
BA in what? read what? If you have any idea about scientifically look at any issue.
1- see what al-qaeda is according to some government officials and experts on this issue ( an umbrella term for groups ...otherwise unrelated ) 2 names i know well who said this on tv are docters van leeuwen= coordinator anti-terrorism dutch government
B de Graaf= professor terroris and advisor to Eu and dutch government and many more like them.
2- f the was a al qaeda... why did FBI report from 1997 say... oops sorry we were mislead. It does not exist
3- How convinient would a enemy be... when they are untraceable in any way... you can't capture a few and make them talk. You can't trace the money.... simply an invisible enemy.... with just a few faces.... with zero links to anything ( even cia came after some time and said that the video of osama was fake....but mission was accomplished.... whole world saw a edited video of laughing bin laden with family friends alledgedly being happy with his attack )
Etc. etc. etc.
If you do not understand these simple questions and facts.... have fun reading this book.
I was actually hoping to find something out about what was in those files.... However the video could be summed up in less than a minute because there was hardly any information presented

Fascinating.
After the destruction of the mountain hideout, he was hiding in plain sight.
No background music please!!!!!! To loud.
It would be nice to hear what this person is saying. Whoever did the audio for this needs help.
Very informative, thank you Vice. Nelly's narration is captivating!
VICE has still got the magic
🤣
Fascinating. A book to add to the Xmas list
Very interesting 👌
Sound editing could use a tweak. Soundtrack is kind of loud 😢 9:14
Nice job, the intelligence community played a massive role to reveal Bin Laden's location. Thanks Vice for sharing it, it would be good to share the whole investigation.
Bin Laden died in 2001. The 2011 assassination was a total hoax
Been there 2 years next to military base, our fbi not as smart as people think, or they just lieing out there mouths
This is brilliant! Except for the audio! Who mixed this?? The levels on the background audio are brutal! WAY TOO HOT! Louder than the woman who is presenting!
They did it so that viewers don't hear or understand a thing
This was a good educational video.
very nice. the music takes it way over the top, for me
Please make the music louder I can still faintly hear what she's saying
Can we talk about the video games and anime he had on the hard drives
Ambient audio was too loud during critical parts. Everything else was great.
Yo, the background music is WAY too loud towards the end of the video. Otherwise a very fascinating video. Man that was painful though.
Lmao they didn't catch him come on be real the biggest terrorist in the world and u threw his body in the ocean rather than bring it back and parade it
What is the point of this video? Also the sound editing is a bit over the top
bro the music/sound effects in the video is ridiculously loud
keep the bg sound a little low.
Fantastic journalism and reporting, thank you Nelly
Fake.
The biggest scam of this century yet
Religion is the worlds biggest scam…😊🇺🇸🍻✌🏻
Who tf did the audio mixing on this, feels like a fever dream
I'd like to read the entire translated documents. Every page.
Imagine her disbelief when she realized there’s google translate
I learned not very much, thank you
Eye opening!
The background music gives me the impression that I am watching a movie rather than a documentary video
What i dont understand about this interview is we dont believe one side but because something else is in a letter in a building for a persons body we never really saw proof for is all a sudden 100% fact.
It's kinda like the death of Steve Irwin. They were filming when he got killed by a stingray but the footage was never released and was probably destroyed.
The CIA saw no value of releasing actual footage of the operations, but it's there behind closed doors. The fact that Al Qaeda had been irrelevant for years and spotlight have been shifted to bigger players like the Islamic State means that Bin Laden had outlived his usefulness and there will be no second coming.
Like many mentioned in the comments, Vice shared very little important or interesting information about this individual, also known by his operative name, Tim Osman.
Operation Northwoods also comes to mind. Same plan, different country as the target.
I agree 💯.
Very interesting and would love to hear more.. but yall fucked up the audio real bad man :(
What means VICE?
9/11 wasn't an “inside job’, it was opportunistic.
The plot was uncovered, chosen as the perfect opportunity and allowed to continue.
Draconian laws were introduced under emotionally attractive names, such as the Patriot Act, brought into legislation without being read, and overwhelmingly approved by a now primed and programmed population. The people literally cried out for less freedom. It's a remarkable psychological tactic.
I almost applaud it.
Actually it was written up in the 60s. Called operation Northwoods. Was gonna kill Americans and blame Cuba.
When the meth kick in.
@@mayfalltribe4747Keep drinking the Kool aid

There’s a lot of music narration is not clear
Can you turn the music up please
Misleading title ....
I highly doubt the story of how they found him with the courier, way to convenient. I rather think it was a walk in from a Pakistani military intelligence. Either way there’s no way the Pakistani ISI had no idea he was in their own front garden!
When’s the next uap/ufo hearings? The last one a few months ago was a great start
Why this old chspter opening?
Yeah ok…..😅. It’s a nice story and should be a best seller in the fiction section.
Turns out to be a lie , we did not see his cops right ?
You guys worry over the volume control on the video. Worry more about the lingering effects.
Whys the music so loud lma oo😅
After reading the letter to America in 2023, it all makes sense now.
Did they? It's so weird they threw the body in the sea.
What would you do with it, make him a martyr with a Michael Jackson sized tomb? 😂😅😂
He was an American 😂😂
Super loud background music; you can just tell this video wasn't reviewed before they uploaded it to this channel
The Infographics show got a good video on the contents of the hard drive
The video editing for the audio is very weird halfway through. Cant hear what shes saying.
Anything from vice now I secondguess the authenticity as well as the agenda
But you believe David ick's claim of reptilian people without question.
You know people have different beliefs and different opinions let me guess your a tate fanboy ?
well, so what were the differences? the video ends so abruptly just as it starts to get interesting...
Click on it to see Bin Laden's letter to Americans, that the US government has censored across the internet but instead got a book advertisement and annoying music, good job Vice...
Why was the music so loud when making a point smh crazy
5:08 ... What? The children were going to him at night? And he would give them gifts...
That sounds creepy as hell.
