According to late Osama Bin Laden’s youngest widow, Amal Ahmed Abdel-Fatah al-Sada, 30-year-old, Osama lived in five safe houses while on the run in Pakistan and fathered four children. She revealed that two of the children were born in government hospitals, this she told investigators.
Sada is in Pakistani custody along with Bin Laden's two other widows and several children. They were arrested after the US raid that killed Bin Laden last year May at his final hideout in Abbottabad, during which Sada was shot in the leg.
Mohammed Amir Khalil, a lawyer for the three widows, said the women would be formally charged on April 2 with illegally staying in Pakistan. That charge carries a maximum five-year prison sentence.
Sada's account says she flew to Pakistan in 2000 and travelled to Afghanistan where she married Bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks. After that, the family scattered and she travelled to Karachi, in Pakistan. She later met up with Bin Laden in Peshawar and then moved to the Swat Valley, where they lived in two houses. They moved one more time before settling in Abbottabad in 2005.
According to the report, Sada said two of her children were born in government hospitals, but she stayed for only "two or three hours" in the clinics on both occasions. The charge sheet against the three women says they gave officials fake identities.
