Bin Laden wives and children deported to Saudi Arabia

The three widows and children of Osama Bin Laden have been deported to Saudi Arabia from the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, officials say.



It follows a year in Pakistani custody since the death of the al-Qaeda leader.

The three widows, who are believed to have 11 children, left the house in a minibus amid tight security to board a special flight to the Gulf kingdom.

Bin Laden was killed by US special forces a year ago in the north-west Pakistani city of Abbottabad.

Pakistani police used sheets to obscure the view as Bin Laden’s wives and children got on board a minivan at their Islamabad residence.
