New
video aired on Al Arabiya television this week shows Osama bin Laden's
three wives, who are currently under house arrest in Islamabad, Pakistan. While
security is present, the footage gives a rare glimpse into everyday life for
the family of the late terrorist leader. The women, their faces covered, are
shown praying and reading the Quran as their children play with toys nearby.
Bin Laden's wives and two of his daughters are
serving 45-day sentences for illegally entering the country, though they have
been in government custody last May, when U.S. Navy SEALs shot and killed bin
Laden in a raid on their compound. The family is expected to be deported to
their home countries—Yemen
and Saudi Arabia—after
their sentences end on April 18. "The documents are almost ready for the
Yemeni wife," Mohammed Amir Khalil, the family's lawyer,told London's Telegraph. "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."
