Osama bin Laden's widows and children 'shown in video' Their current home is a guest house in the capital Islamabad, surrounded by armed police. Despite spending years with the world's most wanted man as he planned terrorist attacks, his three wives and two of his eldest daughters were last month convicted only of immigration offences, which observers believe is the first step to sending them home - possibly next week. The fate of the wives is a major headache for Pakistan. While authorities are keen to be rid of an awkward reminder of how the world's most wanted man lived in comfort on Pakistani soil - even fathering four children - they fear the widows may carry valuable information about who helped the family evade capture. They will want assurances that their home countries - Yemen and Saudi Arabia - will keep the family from public view. Mohammed Amir Khalil, the family's lawyer, said talks were under way to see them repatriated. "Physically they are quite well and are being treated properly," he said. Psychologically, of course, then detention is having an effect and it is important they are allowed home soon. He said he was confident that their deportation would be arranged by the time their sentence was due to end on April 18. The documents are almost ready for the Yemeni wife. For the Saudi wives there are still some things to be arranged. Saudi Arabia was initially unwilling to take them back but there is some hope," he said. Tales have circulated that the three wives have squabbled during their incarceration and during their years spent hiding in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad. The eldest of the wives, Khairiah Sabar was suspected of being an informer by the other two when she arrived in Abbottabad from Iran.
