Life with bin Laden: His bodyguard talks 09:08

It's one of those "60 Minutes" stories that makes you want to jump through the television: Abu Jandal, a former bodyguard of Osama bin Laden, talking about how much he reveres the man behind 9/11. In this 2006 report, Jandal explains how he served the terror mastermind from 1996 to 2000 in Afghanistan, sharing intimate details of life with Osama bin Laden.

A note of special interest: In this interview, Jandal tells Bob Simon he brokered bin Laden's fourth marriage to a Yemeni wife. That woman, now 29, was one of the three bin Laden wives living inside the walled compound in Abbotabad, Pakistan. According to news reports, she was shot in the leg during the raid which killed bin Laden.
