The US has released a second tranche of documents found during the 2011 raid on a house in Pakistan that killed Osama Bin Laden.
A total of 115 documents have been released, including the al-Qaeda leader's will.
Other writings show Bin Laden's fear of being electronically tracked. Here are seven things we learned:
1. 'Obey my will'
Bin Laden left a personal fortune of around $29m (£21m) after his death.
He urged his family to "obey my will" and to spend his inheritance on "jihad, for the sake of Allah".
He referred to the money as being in Sudan, but it is not clear whether it was cash or assets. Bin Laden lived in Sudan for five years in the 1990s as a guest of the Sudanese government.
He also ordered sums of money to be given to two men and various relatives. It is not known whether any of the money made its way to his heirs.
2. He thought his wife's tooth was being tracked
The fear of being tracked is a recurring theme in Bin Laden's writing.
In a letter to one of his wives, who lived in Iran, the world's most wanted man revealed his fear that a dentist could have inserted an electronic tracking device in her tooth during a cavity operation.
"The size of the chip is about the length of a grain of wheat and the width of a fine piece of vermicelli," he wrote under the name Abu Abdullah. The letter ended with an instruction to destroy it.
