The CIA released a treasure trove of documents about 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden Wednesday afternoon. His file is 470,000 pages long.

The documents are extensive and reveal a number of details about Bin Laden's personal life and offer intense insight into al Qaeda's operations over the years. Even in hiding, he remained a key player in al Qaeda's leadership, operations and attack planning.

"Today’s release of recovered al-Qa‘ida letters, videos, audio files and other materials provides the opportunity for the American people to gain further insights into the plans and workings of this terrorist organization," CIA Director Mike Pompeo said in a statement. "CIA will continue to seek opportunities to share information with the American people consistent with our obligation to protect national security."
