"It is not known if he had a radio in the house, but his son Omar, who lived
with him in Afghanistan until 1999, described his father as constantly
listening to the BBC."

I have looked at some of the photo's to see if he had a radio there and to see
what he might have used.

I imagine him to have been a toter.

He had DBS satellite; usually a World Service stream available on those
