The US has released five video clips of Osama bin Laden that it says was taken from the Pakistani compound where the leader of al-Qaeda was reportedly killed last week.
The videos mainly show bin Laden rehearsing taped remarks, but there is also video showing him watching news coverage of himself on TV.
Al Jazeera's Rosiland Jordan, reporting from the Pentagon in Washington DC, said that the video clips were shown to journalists, but the sound was removed from them.
"We did see a video of Osama bin Laden watching video of himself on what appears to be Al Jazeera," she said.
Wayne Madsen, an investigative journalist speaking to Al Jazeera from Washington DC, said that it was still difficult to confirm that all these videos do show bin Laden, as some are not clear.
"There are going to be many more questions raised after the release of these videos, because there have been videos and images in the past that were thought to be of bin Laden, but some of those turned out to be fake."
Compound videos
Earlier on Saturday, Al Jazeera obtained new footage of the compound where Osama bin Laden was killed, that showed the interiors of the house where the al-Qaeda leader is thought to have been hiding for up to six years.
Filmed during daylight hours, there is no doubt that this is the house where bin Laden was shot and killed by US forces, Al Jazeera's Imtiaz Tyab said, reporting from the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
"These pictures ... give a sense of just how Osama bin Laden - the world's most wanted fugitive - lived relatively undetected right here in Abbottabad," our correspondent said.
It was not immediately clear how long after the raid that the footage was taken.

“You people are all insane. It’s like the DU around here, seriously. I feel like I’m Curly Bill trying to hold Johnny Ringo back.”
That’s because the Paulian, 911 Inside Jobbers are in our midst.
They are insane and they are not conservative.
I thought Osama was killed! Does this mean he only changed record labels?
I’m sorry to say I have and wear clothes from 2007. I’m sure my co-workers hate it. Just sayin’! Definitely a guy thing...
I know your point is: “Now THESE are COMMAND CENTERS!”
But the other thing they say is: “THIS held out for almost 10 years against ALL THAT.”
If you want to see how the government loves to “solve” a problem with YEARS of SPENDING, this is a great set of photos!
No, it's because they don't have any and it's going to take at least 6 months before the administration, the pentagon and the CIA can agree on a plausible story and come up with pictures that can convince the world that UBL is dead....
Crap like that doesn't happen over night as evidenced by all the conflicting reports we've gotten this past week........
Actually, both of those thoughts crossed my mind.
Billions of dollars in satellite technology and we couldn’t find a frail old man.
Another good point.
What is the Odumbo going to do next pull a rabbit out of his hat?

>What a dump. A million dollars sure doesn’t get ya much in that neighborhood.<
It was later reported that the house was worth about 250K not a million.
I don’t know if it was just part of the Obama can’t get it right gang making another mistake or if it was a tactical decision to make the believers of Osama think he was living high on the hog while they sleep in the dirt.
one of the first statements that the administration made was that they had the information for 9 months.
The Pakistan government says that they told this administration OBL was there last year.
>Col. David Hunt “....it took about 30 seconds from the time they entered the building until they killed bin Laden.”
Jennifer Griffin then stated her sources confirm bin Laden killed at the 20 minute mark.<
UBL’s daughter says he was taken alive.
just saying
Just saw a clip with Brenner yappin about just that. OBL living in his million dollar mansion.
They certainly went out of their way to embellish the story for some reason. Stupid when they had to know it’d get out in a matter of hours.
On Wednesday, various news agencies reported that his daughter, reportedly born shortly after 9/11, saw him being shot and killed, then watched as his bloodied body was hoisted onto one of the U.S. Navy Seals’ helicopters.
“We have no independent confirmation of Osama bin Laden being there or dying there except what we got from the daughter,” said the official, a member of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency.”

The biggest shame was losing the capacity of the downed copter. Ideally we'd have left with everyone still alive and left the Pakistani's with nothing. The only way any Pakistani could have known what went down would have been if they'd already known HE was there. Work the data and make a couple rounds of follow up live or drone attacks before announcing HIS death and some of those Pakistanis would have proven their complicity in the interim.
