Pakistan may grant U.S. access to bin Laden's wives
Pakistan now seems ready to allow the United States to interview the wives of Osama bin Laden who were with the al Qaeda leader when he was killed last week, a U.S. official familiar with the matter said on Monday.The three wives and several children were among 15 or 16 people taken into custody by Pakistani forces after U.S. Navy SEAL commandos secretly flew into the country, killed bin Laden at a compound in Abbottabad and spirited away his body for burial at sea, said the security official. "The Pakistanis now appear willing to grant access. Hopefully they'll carry through on the signals they're sending," the official said. There was no immediate comment from the White House.
