When the United States invaded Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks, Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden went on the run, abandoning his Kandahar base. Among the personal artifacts he left behind, was a collection of more than 1,500 audio cassettes. The Âé¶¹Éç's Security Correspondent, Gordon Corera, has been granted rare access to this unique collection.
