MYFOXNY.COM - It appears that al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden had some non-terror related interests.
U.S. officials say a stash of pornography was found in Osama bin Laden's Pakistan hideout raided last week by Navy SEALs, 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," the news service said.
There was no word from Reuters if the porn videos were commercial or home made.
Reuters cited sources familiar with similar raids saying finding porn in raids on Islamic militants wasn't uncommon.
It had previously been reported that Avena syrup -- a botanical product often used as "natural Viagra" -- had been found in his hideout.
No other information about the pornography or sexual enhancement substance was released.
Also Friday, U.S. intelligence officials confirmed they had interviewed three of Osama bin Laden's wives -- including the one who was with him when he died -- but the discussions were hostile and unhelpful, FOX News reported.
The women -- two from Saudi Arabia and one from Yemen, who was shot in the leg during a raid by US SEALs on the al-Qaida leader's Pakistan compound -- were interviewed together earlier this week, according to CNN.
FOX said US officials do not rule out more "discussions" with the women, who potentially could provide details about life at bin Laden's compound and describe who came and went.
But their information is seen as part of a larger picture, with the documents and computer material retrieved by the SEALs deemed of far greater importance.
According to a US official, FOX said, the women had not been expected to be helpful in advance of the meeting, with a suspicion they may have been coached to be deceptive, as al-Qaida operatives have been in the past.
The eldest of the three women reportedly spoke for the group. They are three of bin Laden's five wives and together bore him at least 20 children, including 11 sons, CNN said.
