Bin Laden papers used in trial

Prosecutors presented al-Qaeda documents found in Osama bin Laden’s Pakistan compound at the trial of a man charged in a British terrorism plot.

The documents set out instructions for operatives sent to Europe and mark the first time papers from bin Laden’s compound have been presented in a terror trial.

The al-Qaeda documents, read by the FBI linguist who translated them from Arabic, were presented at the trial of Abid Naseer and discussed attacks in Britain and elsewhere in Europe.
