Bin Laden, who was killed by a Navy SEALs raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, was being asked to approve operational decisions until his death, files taken from his compound say.
The revelations came when the files were made public as part of a terror trial in Brooklyn, New York, where Abid Naseer, 28, is accused of plotting to launch an attack on the New York subway system.
Included among the pages of documents, acquired and published by the New York Post, is an exchange in which an al-Qaeda commander asks permission to relocate a terrorist cell to Iran.
Bin Laden's correspondent wrote: 'Sheikh Yunis is ready to move and travel. The destination, in principle, is Iran, and he has with him six to eight brothers that he chose.
'I told him we are waiting for final complete confirmation from you to move, and agree on this destination.
'His plan is: stay around three months in Iran to train the brothers there then start moving them and distributing them in the world for their missions and specialties. He explained those to you in his report and plan.'
The Post said that the purpose of the Iranian move was to plan terror attacks on Europe.
Different documents also ask for advice on how best to wage their 'jihad war' against the Pakistani government.
