‘Bin Laden widow now in Saudi’

Pakistan,” Mohammed Naji Allaw of the NGO Hood said.
At around midnight Pakistan time last week Thursday, a mini-van whisked the Bin Laden’s relatives from the Islamabad house where they had been in detention to the city’s airport, where they left for the Gulf kingdom on a specially chartered flight.
“We have begun making representations for her return to Yemen,” Allaw said of Bin Laden’s Yemeni widow Amal, adding that his information on their arrival came from Zakaria Abdulfattah al-Sadaa, her brother.
There has been no direct confirmation of their arrival from Saudi Arabia, which has kept total silence on the issue.
Hood, which deals with human rights cases in Yemen, especially those concerning children, has been tasked by the widow’s brother with looking after her case.
Sadaa went to Pakistan to personally oversee the deportation of his 30-year-old sister — bin Laden’s youngest and reportedly favourite wife — and her five children.
Bin Laden, who was last year killed at his Pakistan hide-out by some US special forces, the Navy Seals was accused of masterminding the September 11, 2001 terrorist bombings at the World Trade Centre in New York. — AFP/The Herald.
