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.

That blue screen background is just crying out for a photoshopping.
Pakistani realtors have stated that it wasnt worth more than $250,000, if even that. They are not sure how 1 Million was ever estimated, they thought maybe by satellite things look different.
Maybe that includes the street value of the Marijuana Usama was growing in the backyard? :)

This piece of s**t with 19 of his piece of s**t minions took out 3000 people on 9/11/01. Unbelievable. Still leaves me astonished to this day. Something just isn’t right about all of this. I’m just saying...
I guess I missed that. I see no mention of gunfire. The tweets are very enlightening as far as timeline and other details though. 11 minutes from time of "hovering helicopter" and "huge window shaking bang". Then 46 minutes later reports "all silent". That "bang" is a little early in the timeline to be blowing the chopper.
"The biggest shame was losing the capacity of the downed copter. "
Roger that. Makes you wonder if they drilled with the same pilot and aircraft. No doubt we'd still be oblivious had we not lost the chopper. Probably why it took the WH so long to get their first BS story together.
I don’t think the 3-5 minutes remark came in the Tweets, but rather in one of the interviews he gave later. I’d hope we wouldn’t know if the chopper had survived, but I have big doubts on that. I don’t think this gang could keep their mouths shut and delay their gloating. Bush/Cheney could have, but would have had to tell the Congressional ‘Intelligence’ committees and one of the Rats would have leaked it from there.
LOWER MY TAXES
LOL! Al Jazeera is speaking to Wayne Madsen? He is a crank.
Does it include OBL's outtakes that appeared on al-Jezeera's Funniest Home Videos?
Osama watching tv dressed in a blanket and knitted hat.
Good to see he was following Obama’s directive to turn down the thermostat.
The Just for Jihad Men’s store has a limited suit selection.
"I am da weeeeeeeeasel!"
Ok, that clearly looks like someone dressed up trying to pretend to be Osama bin Laden.
Cheers!
>Stupid when they had to know itd get out in a matter of hours.<
Well that is / was my point. The story changes so many times so fast, you don’t know what the hell really happened.
Might as well consult the magic eight ball to find the truth rather than take this administration or the media at their word.
The only difference between oBama and oSama is BS!
One likely result is the most radical paki faction will gain control and we can add that to a list of Obammys failures "
...but are they really failures ! !
