Osama bin Laden was so worried that his wife might have had a tracking device inserted in her tooth by Iranian dentists that he wondered about it in a letter later seized from his hideout by Navy SEALs.
"The size of the chip is about the length of a grain of wheat and the width of a fine piece of vermicelli," Bin Laden wrote under the name of Abu Abdallah in the letter.
The document was taken by U.S. forces in a raid on Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in May 2011, The New York Times reports.
It was declassified on Tuesday along with 112 other documents and letters found after he was killed in a gun battle with Navy SEALs. Other documents were released last May.
The second set of papers included a handwritten will, in which Bin Laden claimed to have about
$29 million in personal wealth — and that most of it should be used "on jihad, for the sake of Allah."
