The pornography stash recovered from Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden's Abbottbad hideout will not be revealed, a U.S. official has said.

Brian Hale, a spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), said that the collection would remain classified "due to the nature of their contents" even as other personal files of the slain leader are released, The Independent reports.

The news came as officials revealed that more than 100 documents had been retrieved from the Abbottabad compound where Bin Laden was killed in a secret operation undertaken by U.S. Special Forces on May 2, 2011.
