THE GUARDIAN: The women have been charged with illegally entering and living in the country, says Pakistan interior minister
Pakistan has charged Osama bin Laden's three widows with illegally entering and living in the country, interior minister Rehman Malik has said.
The three women have been in Pakistani detention since May last year, when US 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.
Malik 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. » | Associated Press in Islamabad | Thursday, March 08, 2012
