   We know that when the Navy SEALs landed inside the bin Laden compound one team entered the main house -- one ended the secondary resident. But there was another dimension to this mission to collect computer's hard drives other potential sources of intelligence. They made off with a trove of material here's Brian Ross tell us back. Terry US intelligence officials have been forced to reconsider. Many of their assumptions about bin Laden and -- terror network . With the discovery He was living not in a cave but in relative luxury in the house full of children. By the time bin Laden moved to the sprawling compound Pakistan . He was down to only one of his five wives He had divorced one of them and three others had moved to Syria. He married very young first cousin from Syria and I'm a couple of very well educated women from Saudi Arabia but the youngest at his favorite. A mile off men who stayed with him -- Rebecca -- TV says her Yemeni passport was found in the compound this week. She was in her late twenty's and have been given the bin Laden as a gift when she was only a teenager. She was a very young woman by the account of the bodyguard who. Brought her to meet bin Laden from the tribal -- that had presented sort of been laden for marriage. A mollen bin Laden and their young children lived on the second and third floors of the -- bin Laden apparently felt safe enough here from capture to keep this family with him. Living in relative luxury. I think it was always mistakenly believed He was dedicate and believe me nobody on the inside ever thought that on Sunday when the US Navy SEALs moved in on the compound. Amal is in the bedroom with -- bin Laden where she reacted with apparent fury. In the room with bin Laden . It was bin Laden's wife she rushed. One of the USS salters and was shot in leg but not killed a woman on the first floor. Was killed in crossfire. And -- wife was unarmed as well. That in my understanding -- people who have studied bin Laden say his wives are devoted to him. He is in in the al - Qaeda contacts and honorable man and he's viewed in their context not as a terrorist but as a statesman. I would be surprised that this guy would sacrifice a wife for this operation but I'm sure she was prepared to get in front of a bullet for him. -- miles leg injury is not considered serious but another member of his family his son come lead from a different life was killed in the raid. Bin Laden is survived by at least eleven others sons including homes. Seen here as a young team supposedly training to become an al - Qaeda fire. But none of the bin Laden's sons are considered to be in line to succeed their -- His sons have never played here a real long operational. Role of any significance they did not appear to be being groomed. Four leadership roles -- In addition to taking out bin Laden that the US mission here produced an unexpected intelligence discovery. What -- described as a boat load of documents computer disks and laptops whose hard drives were removed by the Navy SEALs and arrived in Washington DC today. Where all of the material is being studied by the FBI and the CIA. The first thing they're looking for. Is attacked plants because we know in the past. Bin Laden personally went over attack plans including the 9/11 -- which He rejected and said it needed further work. Before He finally improved to number one this attack plans. Number two is information that might lead the US to the location of bin Laden's deputies including the Egyptian doctor Ayman Al-Zawahri. After attack plans and after the location of his deputies. They're looking for the money is there and how big an organization is al - Qaeda central these days is it really an organization anymore at all. Answers to all those questions may soon come from the material found here. A place where it now appears bin Laden felt safe enough to live for five or six years as the world's most wanted man. The US official. Say they may Begin to get a readout on some of the seized documents and electronic storage devices as soon as tomorrow Terry. -- it's an amazing story it sounds like one of the things they're learning is that Osama bin Laden . Might have still really been in the game massive war might have still been very. Active in Al qaeda's operations very much so they had thought they had at least -- -- -- He wasn't able to do anything. Now they're rethinking that whole arrangement. When all the documents they found suggesting He was very much were running things. Much more than a symbol -- and and the other key part of this is the money and funding. Of the compound and bin Laden what do they hope to find. -- around the funding issue well they believe -- that the people behind helping him build that count were major money changer is in Pakistan . And they believe this may leave a trail to people who continued to provide funding for al - Qaeda all the way back to Saudi Arabia bin Laden's home. So hugely significant operation not just in getting bin Laden but in getting all this information as much more to come -- --

Away from the windows and did not talk in the court yard so there was never any positive ID before the raid. But the number of family living up their match that number in bin Laden's pacer was -- trash was burned. High walls that was enough circumstantial evidence from the surveillance to make the mission ago. Intelligence analysts are only now scratching the surface of the mountains of evidence seized by Navy SEALs inside bin Laden's compound. But key details had begun to emerge about just how operationally involved in al - Qaeda bin Laden continue to -- And how intense the terror network was on developing new strategies to attack America. Among the targets big cities like New York Los Angeles Chicago and Washington. -- I see here at least for now is that bin Laden the engineer. Who wants to look at the structure of possible attack targets was asking questions and was getting information. Officials say a handwritten notebook was found at the compound with discussions of the plan to. Prompted this Homeland Security bulletin. As of February 2010. Al - Qaeda it was looking into trying to -- -- trained by tampering with -- so that the train would fall off the track at either of valley or a bridge. Additional materials found contain information about other infrastructure targets such as dams in the water supply as well as information about al - Qaeda safe houses and al - Qaeda leaders. And for the first time today a look behind the scenes on that tent Sunday for President Obama. As the White House released video -- the president congratulating. His team after bin Laden was killed . With each new detail about the complexity of the over ten year long American led hunt for bin Laden emerged. A clearer picture has begun to take shape about just how much one man has cost this country. Not just in lives but in money. Taking into consideration everything from the economic toll of the September 11 attacks to the heightened security put in place over the last ten years. To the new programs developed to prevent further attacks to the two wars being waged in Afghanistan and Iraq. To the actual direct physical hunt for bin Laden . Some are placing the cost anywhere between 250. Billion dollars to a staggering three trillion. And while many including the president have indicated that this does not mean an end to this so called war on terror. With one of the key players dead. Things are bound to change. Today secretary of defense Robert Gates spoke about the death of bin Laden while touring a military base in North Carolina. In terms of the situation in Afghanistan. I think that there is a possibility

   Coming up on the real deal bin Laden is gone but there is chaos in his wake. How can the US salvage its relationship with Pakistan . White House took a step sideways but says it is resolute in its commitment we also do not apologize for the action this week. We think that there had to be some sort of support network for bin Laden inside a process. And that's something that we have to investigate and more importantly the Pakistani government's domestic. Remember Pakistan had been very clear about Osama bin Laden . All the time. But he's on -- putts on intelligence. He's convinced that in the death if they need to look like what kind of backed if I think it is that it. Today we get the real deal from former president -- -- -- what did they really know what will happen now. Third time much arm my third interview with President Bush are what will He tell us about what Pakistan really -- -- what happens next. Time for the reuse the. Welcome to the real deal my friends Osama bin Laden's literally in the back -- of the Pakistani military. Troubling troubling breeds hostility I can feel your hostility but it's a complicated relationship. The pakistanis have been very good friends for a very. Long time and they have nuclear weapons and they are probably the most developed democracy in the region. So how did we get here we need to look back in a quick six to take a look. The relationship between the US and Pakistan has often been like a roller coaster bilateral affair strengthened in the days after 9/11. Now being once again pushed to the -- in the wake of the mission that killed Osama did not. The on again off again relationship has seen its share of tension. And the taking of sides during the 1965. Pakistan any war -- India to the total revocation of US economic support. But Pakistan broke ground on -- nuclear program. But the latest tension threatens to -- that relationships more than ever with cries from the United States demanding answers. To how the world's most hunted terrorists could -- up in suburban Pakistan surrounded by the Pakistani army itself. Conversely the pakistanis claim their sovereignty was violated and seal team six crossed their border unannounced and unaccounted for. With Pakistan refusing to allow US forces back into the compound or to interrogate the remaining wives of bin Laden . Many are wondering if -- nearly twenty billion dollars in aid to fight al - Qaeda . Has been -- in Austin. -- with bin Laden gone the war on terror remains. More questions than answers about the future of Pakistan -- US relations. All right so there's a lot of history here but what about the present. Troubled waters to say the least we need perspective and we can get the real deal today from someone who almost certainly pass to know former President Pervez Musharraf. He was in power during the time we believe Osama bin Laden was in this compound. I've interviewed him twice before he's candid let's see if he's willing to give the real deal. Mr. President thank you for joining us. Political so let's get right to it intelligence now suggests that Osama bin Laden had been in this compound for at least five to six years. That would put him in the compound while you were president so I ask you. How could -- not have known that Osama bin Laden was somewhere so easy to find. Believe -- indeed. A big. -- exit -- vehicle from the intelligence. But a lady don't -- -- type of -- He has. It doesn't get -- to my logic. And of any -- -- -- connect and in Holcomb date so many people around the house. No longer recognize a summit in London itself -- in the anonymity it on with in the Willard. Holcomb did you know Osama bin Laden and his beard -- -- Human intelligence. And on I -- this -- men who stay inside a little politics He has. I don't think that this is that He nagging doubt in my mind that this is not -- logically possible two things. Hollowell largely because -- residents whose. As for you to put into your thinking one. They have video excerpts of Osama bin Laden making tapes practicing for tapes that put him in the same room. Over that period that helps develop the understanding that He was there and why do you assume that people would've said anything. If they knew He were there that's the big doubt is whether or not the Pakistani people and intelligence were willing. Two out Osama bin law.
