13. He always took the best brands
Bin Laden outwardly enjoyed access to “all the best brands” while residing in his Abbottabad compound. This included Pepsi and Coca-Cola brand sodas, as well as products like Vaseline and Nestle milk.“People of Bin Laden always paid in cash, never asked for credit Card or like that.” Said Anjum Qaisar, the grocer at the shop where bin Laden’s men would buy food and supplies. He continued “People of Bin Laden never came by foot, they always drove a Pajero or a little Suzuki van, and they bought enough food for ten people.” The clerk recalls being curious as to why they would purchase so much food, but didn’t want to be ill-mannered.
