These were the books on Osama bin Laden's shelves

The CIA has released a list of books found in Osama Bin Laden's Pakistan compound.

His reading list includes two novels by Noam Chomsky, the 9/11 truther novel The New Pearl Harbor and an online article questioning if the illuminati were behind the attacks. It also contained articles related to Project MKULTRA, the CIA's secretive behaviour modification programme.
