| 3 Illegal alien widows charged (where's the outrage?) |
| 2012-03-08 |
| Fooled you with the title? Pakistan has charged Osama bin Laden's three widows with illegally entering and living in the country, the interior minister said Thursday. The three women have been in Pakistani detention since May last year, when U.S. commandos raided the house where they, bin Laden and several of their children were staying. The commandos shot and killed bin Laden, and then buried his body at sea. Rehman said the three had been charged in court, but he did not say when. It was unclear if they had a lawyer. He said their children were free to leave Pakistan, but could stay with their mothers for the duration of the trial. A Pakistani legal expert contacted about the case, Hashmat Habib, said the maximum punishment the women could receive was five years in jail. One of their relatives has reportedly visited Pakistan recently to urge authorities to let them leave the country. The decision to charge them could be a formal part of that process. |
