So what does that tell us? Well, ObL is alleged to have died very close to that date.
Osama Bin Laden's last wish, according to his will, was that his wives not remarry and his children not join al-Qaida, writes Ian Black.

Al-Anbaa, a Kuwait newspaper, reported today that the will, marked "private and confidential" is dated 14 December 2001, three months after the 9/11 attacks when US forces were hunting him in Afghanistan.
The four page document, written on a computer and signed by "your brother Abu Abdullah Osama Muhammad Bin Laden," also predicted that he would be killed by the "treachery" of those around him.
Al-Anbaa does not reveal how it obtained the will, or if it was able to authenticate it.
Insights into Bin Laden's thinking include how he listed the assault on New York's twin towers in a sequence beginning with the attack on US marines in Lebanon in 1983, the killing of 19 US rangers serving as UN peacekeepers in Somalia in 1993 and the bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi - by al-Qaida- in 1998.
