The Washington Post on Friday reported on details from the documents, which will soon be made public.

This was from 2012, what other news are they underreporting?

The documents also reportedly reveal bin Laden's concern over al Qaeda's image among Muslims. He told his top lieutenant to warn regional leaders to avoid "unnecessary civilian casualties" in Muslim countries

Wow. this is the fucking alquada asshole saying this.

Bin Laden also reportedly argued in favor of changing his organization's name. The al Qaeda brand, he explained, was tarnished

lol!
