Nobody wants the bin Laden families, poor dears
2011-05-20
No country wants to deal with the three widows and nine children of Osama bin Laden.

Right now they are in protective custody in Islamabad.

Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik had formally requested Saudi Arabia to accept Osama's family during a visit to Riyadh, according The Herald Tribune. The Saudis rejected this request, saying that Osama had been stripped of his Saudi citizenship more than 15 years ago.
"We don't want his kind round here, nor his kind of descendents, neither!"
Osama was born in Saudi Arabia and his extended family stand among the Kingdom's most powerful people.

Yemen also refused to accept custody of Amal Abdulfattah, one of the three widows of Bin Laden and her five children.
"We got problems of our own, got no room for an unlettered widow-woman and her passel of brats."
YOU go through life with the name, Abdulfattah, and see what it gets you...

#2  Was this posted by TW? I ask because of the headline.

Anyway, I believe this is rank hypocracy on the part of Pakistan. They were willing to shelter Bin Laden knowing he was guilty, but they want to pretend to be all righteous by punishing people for being related to him.

#1  Iran or Pakistan are used to housing AlQ families so why not now?

When the news dies down my money is on Saudi Arabia!
