Osama bin Laden used Herbal Viagra | Personal items found in Abbottabad raid

The raid at Osama bin Laden's Abbottabad compound in Pakistan revealed many things about the global terror kingpin. If the videos confiscated at his secret hideout in Abbottabad showed a "vain" Osama bin Laden, these personal items seized at the compound tell more about the terror chief.

Avena Syrup

Popularly known as an herbal form of Viagra, this botanical product used for impotence is one of items found in a medicine kit inside Osama bin Laden's Abbottabad mansion. It is also used as an artificial sweetener often used for a sour stomach.

"The discovery of Avena syrup raises questions about whether bin Laden or anyone at the compound was hoping to boost sexual desire and performance. Avena Sativa is an extract of wild oats, a dietary supplement marketed as an aphrodisiac known by the nicknames “natural Viagra” and “wild oats,” Cynthia Reilly, a pharmacist and director of practice development for the American Society of Health System Pharmacists, said as reported by MSNBC.

Here is the list of medications recovered at bin Laden's compound in Pakistan, according to NBC News:

1) Tablet

2) Ulcer Capsule

3) Tab/Cap Gabapentine

4) Penza drops

5.) Natrilix

6.) Grucid

7.) Avena syrup

8.) NIFIM, an antibiotic

9.) Syp, Tixylax , its use generally for children for chest problems

10.) Brufen syp

11.) Dettole, an antiseptic

Colas (Pepsi/Coke)

Osama bin Laden seemed to enjoy popular soft-drinks brand, Pepsi and Coca Cola, despite the fact that he hated the country where they come from.

Anjum Qaisar, a local store owner said that people from Bin Laden's compound regularly bought Pepsi, Coke, and other popular brands in bulk.

"I was curious about why they bought so much food, but I did not want to be rude by asking" such a personal question," Qaisar told Businessweek.

Mitshubishi and Suzuki

Qaisar added that bin Laden's errand boys "never came by foot, they always drove a Pajero or a little Suzuki van, and they bought enough food for 10 people."

Pajero is a sport utility vehicle manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors. It is known as the Mitsubishi Montero (meaning "mountain warrior") in Spain, India, and the Americas (excepting Brazil), and as Mitsubishi Shogun in the United Kingdom.

Petroleum Jelly

Stayed indoors for 5 years, the al-Qaeda leader and the other people living inside his mansion also took care of their skin. A family-size jar of Vaseline was also discovered inside the house. Vaseline is a brand of petroleum jelly which is commonly used either as a lubricant or to provide moisture for dry skin.

Marijuana

An alleged $1 million worth of marijuana plants were also found a few yards away from the compound. MailOnline reported that since bin Laden reportedly suffered from kidney problems, marijuana may have been used by the terrorist leader to ease the pain.

Apart from the items mentioned above, accounts from people who knew bin Laden said that he was a fan of Arsenal Football Club, obsessed with singer Whitney Houston, liked watching himself on Al Jazeera, enjoyed playing volleyball as one of his hobbies, and loved reading Jimmy Carters' book "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid".

Osama Bin Laden's son killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan raid | Gruesome death photos released

Osama Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan was raided by the U.S. Navy SEALs early morning on May 2 which killed the most wanted terrorist in the world. During the assault in the $250,000 three-story mansion in Abbottabad, the U.S. forces did not only fatally shot the terrorist leader but also left four (4) other people dead, according to reports. Among those who were killed in the raid were a man described as bin Laden's courier and the courier's brother, one of bin Laden's wives and one of his sons.

U.S. President Barack Obama has decided not to release the death photo of Osama bin Laden since it's too graphic saying in a CBS interview that "it is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence. As a propaganda tool. You know, that's not who we are. You know, we don't trot out this stuff as trophies. You know, the fact of the matter is this was somebody who was deserving of the justice that he received. And I think-- Americans and people around the world are glad that he's gone. But we don't need to spike the football. And I think that given the graphic nature of thesephotos, it would create some national security risk. And I've discussed this with Bob Gates and Hillary Clinton and my intelligence teams and they all agree."

This means that the world will not be able to see Osama bin Laden's death photos. However, Reuters was able to take hold of 3 gruesome death pictures of the 3 men who were killed in the operation which reportedly include bin Laden's son, Khalid. Courtesy of MailOnline and Reuters, here are the said photos which were made pixelated since they are too graphic.

Meanwhile, check out below an excerpt of the CBS interview of President Obama:

STEVE KROFT: Did you see the pictures?

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Yes.

KROFT: What was your reaction when you saw them?

OBAMA: It was him.

KROFT: Why haven't you released them?

OBAMA: You know, we discussed this internally. Keep in mind that we are absolutely certain this was him. We've done DNA sampling and testing. And so there is no doubt that we killed Osama bin Laden. It is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence. As a propaganda tool. You know, that's not who we are. You know, we don't trot out this stuff as trophies. You know, the fact of the matter is this was somebody who was deserving of the justice that he received. And I think-- Americans and people around the world are glad that he's gone. But we don't need to spike the football. And I think that given the graphic nature of these photos, it would create some national security risk. And I've discussed this with Bob Gates and Hillary Clinton and my intelligence teams and they all agree.

KROFT: There are people in Pakistan, for example, who say, "Look, this is all a lie. Obama, this is another American trick. Osama's not dead."

OBAMA: You know, the truth is that and we -- we're monitoring worldwide reaction. There's no doubt that Bin Laden is dead. Certainly there's no doubt among al Qaeda members that he is dead. And so we don't think that a photograph in and of itself is going to make any difference. There are going be some folks who deny it. The fact of the matter is, you will not see bin Laden walking on this Earth again.

Osama bin Laden's death "should not lull us into complacency' - Pnoy

PNoy issues statement on Osama Bin Laden's death

The President of the Philippines, Pres. Noynoy Aquino (PNoy) has released his statement on the death of the Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden who was killed in a raid by the US forces in Pakistan on Monday.

PNoy said the terrorist leader's death "represents the end of the efforts of one man to stoke the fires of sectarian hatred and to promote terrorism on a scale unprecedented in the history of mass murder."

However, the President emphasized that we should not be complacent after Bin Laden's death, but "must continue to consistently and courageously raise its collective voice against religious hatred, political intolerance, and terrorism of all kinds."

Here's the full text of PNoy's statement of Osama Bin Laden's death courtesy of the website of government's Official Gazette:

Statement

of

His Excellency Benigno S. Aquino III

President of the Philippines

On the death of Osama bin Laden

[May 2, 2011]

The death of Osama bin Laden marks a signal defeat for the forces of extremism and terrorism. It represents the end of the efforts of one man to stoke the fires of sectarian hatred and to promote terrorism on a scale unprecedented in the history of mass murder. Let us not forget that this is not just an achievement for the United States. It has brought justice to over a dozen Filipinos who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 in the World Trade Center.

The death of Osama bin Laden should not lull us into complacency. The world must continue to consistently and courageously raise its collective voice against religious hatred, political intolerance, and terrorism of all kinds. We must remain vigilant and united in pursuing peace, pluralism, and collective efforts at security.

One sword has been beaten down; we must continue to be dedicated to the principle of beating the swords of terrorism into the plowshares of progress and peace.

Together with my national security team, we continue to take all relevant precautions and steps to ensure the safety of our people. We, as a democratic and free people, remain committed to fighting terrorism and are in solidarity with the peoples of the United Nations.
