The raid at Osama bin Laden's Abbottabad compound in Pakistan revealed many things about the global terror kingpin. If the videos confiscated at his secret hideout in Abbottabad showed a "vain" Osama bin Laden, these personal items seized at the compound tell more about the terror chief.
Avena Syrup

Popularly known as an herbal form of Viagra, this botanical product used for impotence is one of items found in a medicine kit inside Osama bin Laden's Abbottabad mansion. It is also used as an artificial sweetener often used for a sour stomach.

"The discovery of Avena syrup raises questions about whether bin Laden or anyone at the compound was hoping to boost sexual desire and performance. Avena Sativa is an extract of wild oats, a dietary supplement marketed as an aphrodisiac known by the nicknames “natural Viagra” and “wild oats,” Cynthia Reilly, a pharmacist and director of practice development for the American Society of Health System Pharmacists, said as reported by MSNBC.

Here is the list of medications recovered at bin Laden's compound in Pakistan, according to NBC News:

1) Tablet

2) Ulcer Capsule

3) Tab/Cap Gabapentine

4) Penza drops

5.) Natrilix

6.) Grucid

7.) Avena syrup

8.) NIFIM, an antibiotic

9.) Syp, Tixylax , its use generally for children for chest problems

10.) Brufen syp

11.) Dettole, an antiseptic

Colas (Pepsi/Coke)

Osama bin Laden seemed to enjoy popular soft-drinks brand, Pepsi and Coca Cola, despite the fact that he hated the country where they come from.

Anjum Qaisar, a local store owner said that people from Bin Laden's compound regularly bought Pepsi, Coke, and other popular brands in bulk.

"I was curious about why they bought so much food, but I did not want to be rude by asking" such a personal question," Qaisar told Businessweek.

Mitshubishi and Suzuki

Qaisar added that bin Laden's errand boys "never came by foot, they always drove a Pajero or a little Suzuki van, and they bought enough food for 10 people."

Pajero is a sport utility vehicle manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors. It is known as the Mitsubishi Montero (meaning "mountain warrior") in Spain, India, and the Americas (excepting Brazil), and as Mitsubishi Shogun in the United Kingdom.

Petroleum Jelly

Stayed indoors for 5 years, the al-Qaeda leader and the other people living inside his mansion also took care of their skin. A family-size jar of Vaseline was also discovered inside the house. Vaseline is a brand of petroleum jelly which is commonly used either as a lubricant or to provide moisture for dry skin.

Marijuana

An alleged $1 million worth of marijuana plants were also found a few yards away from the compound. MailOnline reported that since bin Laden reportedly suffered from kidney problems, marijuana may have been used by the terrorist leader to ease the pain.
