Osama Bin Laden wished his wives not to remarry and his children not to join Al-Qaeda in a document, which is thought to be his will, Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Aabaa reported Tuesday.

The four-page document, dated Dec. 14, 2001, three months after 9/11, was written on a computer and signed by Osama bin Laden himself as “your brother Abu Abdullah Osama Muhammad Bin Laden.”

He feared he might be killed by a traitor. He also listed attacks on the New York Twin Towers and other suicide bomb attacks on U.S. marines in Lebanon in 1983, the killing of 19 U.S. marines serving as U.N. peacekeepers in Somalia in 1993 and the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi in 1998.

Among the accounts of violence, what stood out most was his last word to his family. He ordered his wives not to remarry and advised his children not to join Al-Qaeda or go to “the front.” He also asked forgiveness of his children for not having spent enough time with them.

The report didn’t state how and when the document was obtained.

Saudi magazine Al-Majallah once published a similar paper in 2002, but it was deemed a fraud by a pro-jihadist website.
