AMANPOUR: This week, Osama bin Laden as we've never seen himbefore, a new window into how he lived and how he died.

OBAMA: Justice is done. The world is safer.

AMANPOUR: But is it really?

(UNKNOWN): Al Qaida was plotting -- the target was passenger trains.

(UNKNOWN): There's a real concern about retaliation.

AMANPOUR: We'll ask the president's national security adviserwhat's being done to keep Americans safe. Will clues from bin Laden'scompound thwart future attacks? Or will Al Qaida strike back?

AMANPOUR: Welcome to the program. This week, the whole world wastransfixed by a single story. The headlines said it all: Osama binLaden, the most notorious terrorist in history, shot and killed byAmerican forces.

The horror that he inflicted left an indelible mark on the Americanpsyche. And behind me, the twisted and now mangled antenna that oncestood on the north tower of the World Trade Center, here at the Newseumfor all to see and remember what happened there.

President Obama visited Ground Zero this week, closing a chapter inAmerican history nearly 10 years after the 9/11 attacks. This, as theflood of information from the raid on bin Laden's Pakistan compoundcontinues to pour in.

And just yesterday, new tapes with extraordinary images of theterror mastermind seen as a graying old man watching himself ontelevision. That was one of five videos released by the Pentagon, andnow ABC's Martha Raddatz here who's followed the story every step of theway.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

RADDATZ (voice-over): Of the five videos released by the Pentagon,this one is surely the most compelling. There sits the most wantedterrorist in the world covered in an old blanket with a very gray beardwatching news clips of himself on television.

He switches his satellite TV from channel to channel. When an imagepops up showing him with weapons, he motions to his camera operator tozoom in. What he is watching on the television matches a pressconference we found in late January 2010.

The other four tapes are all outtakes or messages to his followers.The audio has been removed by the U.S. because officials say it isjihadist propaganda. But notice the color of his beard. He clearly hasbeen dying it. This is 2004. Similar clothes in background. This isthe more recent tape.

PILLAR: This is someone who realized that the image that heconveyed was the main value he had to his movement. It was part of hisbrand.

RADDATZ: But last Sunday, the dye had faded. When he was shot deadby SEALs, the beard was gray. The tapes are only a small part of themassive amounts of intelligence picked up the SEALs in the compound,which intelligence analysts are calling the largest intelligence haulever from a senior terrorist.
