Pakistan will deport the widows and children of Osama bin Laden to Saudi Arabia next week after their jail sentence for illegal residency ends, according to their lawyer. Aamir Khalil said, "They are likely to be deported to Saudi Arabia on April 18, as their sentence ends on April 17."
Earlier this month a Pakistani court sentenced the women to 45 days in prison for staying in the country illegally . It ordered their deportation after the prison term which began on March 3 when they were formally arrested. The three widows and the children were among 16 people detained after the US raid. Two of the wives are Saudi nationals, and one is from Yemen. |
