Well, well, well… what have we here? Seems U.S. officials have found many things while searching Osama bin Laden’s million-dollar Abbottabad hideout. And what have they found most recently? Yep. Porn.

Reuters reports:

“The pornography recovered in bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, consists of modern, electronically recorded video and is fairly extensive, according to the officials, who discussed the discovery with Reuters on condition of anonymity.”

There’s no word as to where the smut was discovered or who might have been viewing said smut but, hey, does it really matter? “Specifically, the officials said they did not know if bin Laden himself had acquired or viewed the materials,” says Reuters. He would have totally denied it anyway, right?

Apparently this isn’t out of the ordinary, as Reuters relays, “Three other U.S. officials familiar with evidence gathered during investigations of other Islamic militants said the discovery of pornography is not uncommon in such cases.”
