Osama bin Laden's AK-47 has been put up on display in the CIA Museum at the agency's headquarters in Langley, Virginia, but it remains closed to the general public.

The New York Daily News reports the Russian-style rifle found near Osama Bin Laden's body after he was killed in a raid by Navy SEALs is now hanging in a super-secret museum in CIA's headquarters.

An Al-Qaeda training manual found in Afghanistan after 9/11 and the mock-up of Bin Laden's compound used to plan the raid are on display besides the AK-47.
