The Yemeni widow of Osama Bin Laden, Aml Ahmed Abdul Al-Fatah Al-Sada, will be repatriated back to Yemen from Pakistan.
Deputy Ambassador of Pakistan to Yemen Dr Diyar Khan, said the Pakistani mission received information about Osama's widow, who is of Yemini origin.
Al-Sada was with Bin Laden in a bedroom when US special forces stormed the house and was shot in the leg while attempting to defend her husband.
She is currently detained in a hospital in Pakistan, but authorities here told her family that they will send her back to Yemen soon.
In a previous report in The Express Tribune, Bin Laden’s Yemeni wife is said to have told investigators that they had lived for five years in the compound in Abbottabad.
“She said in Arabic that Bin Laden and his family were living in this compound for the last five years and he never left the compound,” one security official said.
“But this is only her statement and we have not yet corroborated it,” the official added. A second security official confirmed the information.
“It’s a new dilemma for Islamabad. A wrong decision about the future of Bin Laden’s family may create more problems for Pakistan,” an official source told The Express Tribune on condition of anonymity. “We can’t force the family out of the country without their consent,” he added.
