ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Osama bin Laden spent nine years on the run in Pakistan after the Sept. 11 attacks, during which time he moved among five safe houses and fathered four children, at least two of whom were born in a government hospital, his youngest wife has told Pakistani investigators. 
 
 The testimony of Amal Ahmad Abdul Fateh, Bin Laden’s 30-year-old wife, offers the most detailed account yet of life on the run for the Bin Laden family in the years preceding the American commando raid in May 2011 that killed the leader of Al Qaeda at the age of 54. 
 
 Her account is contained in a police report dated Jan. 19 that, as an account of that frantic period, contains manifest flaws: Ms. Fateh’s words are paraphrased by a police officer, and there is noticeably little detail about the Pakistanis who helped her husband evade his American pursuers. Nevertheless, it raises more questions about how the world’s most wanted man managed to shunt his family between cities that span the breadth of Pakistan, apparently undetected and unmolested by the otherwise formidable security services. 
 
 Bin Laden’s three widows are of great interest because they hold the answers to some of the questions that frustrated Western intelligence in the years after 2001. They are currently under house arrest in Islamabad, and their lawyer says he expects them and two adult children — Bin Laden’s daughters Maryam, 21, and Sumaya, 20 — to be charged on Monday with breaking Pakistani immigration laws, which carries a possible five-year jail sentence. 
 
 The wives have cooperated with the authorities to varying degrees. Investigators say the older women, named in court documents as Kharia Hussain Sabir and Siham Sharif, both citizens of Saudi Arabia, have largely refused to cooperate with investigators. However, Ms. Fateh, who was wounded in the raid that killed her husband, has spoken out. 
 
 The report, by a joint investigative panel made up of civilian and military officials, was first noted by the Pakistani newspaper Dawn on Thursday; The New York Times later obtained a copy of the filing. In Washington, United States officials said that while they could not confirm every detail of the report, it appeared generally consistent with what is known and believed about Bin Laden’s movements. 
 
 In the report’s account, Ms. Fateh said she agreed to marry Bin Laden in 2000 because “she had a desire of marrying a mujahid.” She flew into Karachi in July that year and, months later, crossed into Afghanistan to join Bin Laden and two other wives at his base on a farm outside Kandahar. 
 
 The Sept. 11 attacks caused the Bin Laden family to “scatter,” the report said. She returned to Karachi with her newborn daughter, Safia, where they stayed for about nine months. They changed houses up to seven times under arrangements brokered by “some Pakistani family” and Bin Laden’s elder son, Saad. 
 
 Other senior Qaeda figures were also in Karachi, a sprawling city of up to 18 million people. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the architect of the Sept. 11 attacks, claims to have personally killed the Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl there during this period; he was captured at a house in Rawalpindi in March 2003. 
 
 Ms. Fateh said she left Karachi in the second half of 2002 for Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, where she was reunited with her husband. The American pursuit of Bin Laden was running high: Qaeda operatives had attacked an Israeli-owned hotel in Kenya and nightclubs in Indonesia, and with C.I.A. intelligence resources not yet diverted to Iraq, the search was firmly focused on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border area. 
 
 Bin Laden, according to his wife, took his family deep into rural mountain areas of northwest Pakistan — but not, notably, into the tribal belt where much Western attention was focused. First they stayed in the Shangla district in Swat, a picturesque area about 80 miles northwest of the capital, Islamabad, where they stayed in two different houses for eight to nine months. 
 
 Then in 2003 they moved to Haripur, a small town even closer to Islamabad, where they stayed in a rented house for two years. Here, Ms. Fateh gave birth to a girl, Aasia, in 2003 and a boy, Ibrahim, in 2004 — both of whom were delivered in a local government hospital. The police report states that Ms. Fateh “stayed in hospital for a very short time of about 2-3 hours” on each occasion. A separate document states that she gave fake identity papers to hospital staff. 
 
 Finally, in mid-2005, according to Ms. Fateh, Bin Laden and his family moved to Abbottabad, 20 miles east of Haripur, where she gave birth to another two children: Zainab in 2006 and Hussain in 2008. 
 
 Scott Shane contributed reporting from Washington. ||||| Osama bin Laden's youngest widow has told Pakistani investigators the al Qaeda leader and his family had been living in the compound where he was killed for the past five years, said a senior Pakistani intelligence official. 
 
 Amal Ahmed Abdulfattah, a 29-year-old Yemeni who was injured in a raid on the compound by U.S. Navy SEALs early Monday and is now being treated in a Pakistani military hospital, was one of three of bin Laden's wives and several of his children who had been living with him in the garrison town of Abbottabad, the official said. 
 
 His account of her testimony offers some of the strongest evidence so far of how long the world's most-wanted man had been living in Abbottabad, and in what circumstances, as well as some fresh insight into what happened during and immediately after the raid. 
 
 Ms. Abdulfattah, whom bin Laden married in 2000, was among a total of 17 people taken from the compound by Pakistani forces after the raid, the official said. He said only that she was injured in the crossfire, but U.S. officials have said a woman was shot in the leg trying to protect bin Laden.The Pakistan intelligence official said U.S. forces had removed the bodies of bin Laden and his 18-year-old son, but Pakistani authorities had recovered the corpses of three other men from the compound. 
 
 Among the compound residents taken into Pakistani custody was bin Laden's 12-year-old daughter, Safia, who officials say saw her father being shot and dragged away by U.S. soldiers. 
 
 She is the oldest of bin Laden's children who survived the operation. 
 
 Apart from the three wives of bin Laden, a fourth adult woman in custody is believed to be the wife of a companion of bin Laden who was killed in the operation, the official said. 
 
 Pakistani officials said the survivors would be sent to their countries of origin after the investigation was completed. One of bin Laden's wives is believed to be a Saudi national, while the nationality of the third isn't yet known. 
 
 However, that may not be possible for bin Laden's children, as Saudi Arabia revoked his citizenship in 1994. His family, which has renounced him, would have to adopt the children for them to live there. 
 
 The official said the compound had separate living quarters for four families, with two occupied by bin Laden and his son, and the other two by his courier and the courier's brother. They even had separate kitchens and gas meters. 
 
 U.S. officials have identified the courier as a Pakistani man who was born in Kuwait and used aliases including Arshad Khan and Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti. They have said he and his brother were among those killed in the raid. 
 
 Local officials in Abbottabad said they had no information about the courier's real identity, but some details have emerged of how Arshad Khan acquired the house. 
 
 Land records reviewed by The Wall Street Journal showed that a man using the name Mohammed Arshad Waled Niqab Khan purchased the land from four different sellers for a total of about $50,000 over the course of 2004 and 2005. 
 
 The records give no other details of Khan's identity, other than that he came from an area called Tangi in Charsadda district in northwestern Pakistan. 
 
 The last plot he bought was from Qazi Mahfouz ul-Haq, who is a lecturer at the Frontier Medical College in Abbottabad and also runs a small private clinic. 
 
 Dr. Mahfouz confirmed that he sold his plot to Khan in 2005 for about $25,000. Khan had already purchased the three other plots in 2004 and had told Dr. Mahfouz he wanted the extra plot to build a house for his "uncle." 
 
 "He was a very ordinary man—nice in his talking, but nothing special or extraordinary," said Dr. Mahfouz, 41, who like Khan is from the Pashtun ethnic group that dominates the area around Pakistan's border with Afghanistan. "I can't believe even now that he was such a type of man." 
 
 He said Khan was clean-shaven, wore traditional Pashtun clothes, spoke in Pashto, and looked about 25 years old. 
 
 Shown photographs of three dead male bodies found at the compound and released by Reuters, he said one was definitely not Khan, but he couldn't be sure about the other two because the faces were contorted and partially obscured. 
 
 He said he saw Khan six or seven times after their land deal, sometimes shopping around town, and once when he came to Dr. Mahfouz's clinic to get some medicine for a chest infection. 
 
 The deal between the two men was witnessed by Aziz ul-Rehman, an imam at a local mosque who also deals in property. 
 
 Mr. Aziz said he only met Khan once, when the deal was signed, and that he seemed to be relatively wealthy, judging by his appearance and his arrival in a new two-door sport-utility vehicle. Mr Aziz also said Khan was clean-shaven, but addressed him in Urdu, rather than Pashtu.

– During the nine years Osama bin Laden spent in hiding in Pakistan after 9/11, he made his way between five different homes in the country and fathered four children, according to his youngest wife. As recounted by a Pakistani police report, Amal Ahmed Abdulfattah revealed that two of the children were born in government hospitals, and these new details have the New York Times wondering how her husband was able to traverse the country with family in tow without being caught by Pakistani's powerful security forces. The bin Laden family split up after 9/11, but Abdulfattah joined her husband in the Pakistani city of Peshawar in 2002, she said. The family hid in rural northwest Pakistan, not far from Islamabad, though not in the tribal regions where Western authorities were searching. In 2003, they moved to Haripur, nearer to Islamabad, where Abdulfattah had two children in government hospitals, apparently under a fake name. They moved to Abbottabad, where bin Laden was killed, in 2005. Two more children were born there. Click for the full account of bin Laden's movements, including a near miss by US forces.
