Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden ordered for a satellite TV dish to be set up at his hideout so that he could watch the 9/11 terror attack in the US, but he couldn't watch it as he was unable to get a signal in the mountainous terrain, his former bodyguard has said.

Nasser Al Bahri, former bodyguard of the elusive Al Qaeda chief, said: "He asked for satellite TV to be able to follow the bombing."
