Pakistan to deport Osama bin Laden's family on Wednesday The family was deported on the orders of a Pakistani court, which on April 2 had convicted the three widows and two adult daughters of bin Laden for illegally entering and residing in Pakistan. The government and the family's Pakistani lawyer have not released details about the nine children. Sharif is the mother of the two grown-up daughters, while the third and youngest widow, Amal Ahmed Abdul-Fatah, is the mother of five minors. At least one, and perhaps all, of the remaining four minors is bin Laden's grandchild from a deceased daughter. State prosecutors had not pressed the more serious charges of aiding and abetting a terrorist, which could have led to jail sentences of up to seven years. Pakistan was hugely embarrassed in March by press leaks of a statement given to federal investigators by Abdul-Fatah, the youngest wife and a Yemeni national. She told them bin Laden and his family had lived in Pakistan since 2002 - and not, as previously thought, 2006. He had previously lived in the northern city of Peshawar and picturesque Swat Valley, while local supporters built his Abbottabad residence. The 14 family members were taken into custody by Pakistani security agencies after surviving the US covert military operation last May 2 at the house. American requests for access to the family were rejected by the Pakistani government, which was infuriated that the U.S. had decided not to inform it of the operation, to prevent the plans being leaked by any al-Qaeda sympathisers.
