Bin Laden Dept: ISLAMABAD - A Pakistani court sentenced Osama bin Laden's three widows and two of his daughters to 45 days in prison on Monday for illegally living in the country, ordering them deported when the sentence ends, their lawyer said, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The women may have information about how bin Laden managed to remain undetected for close to 10 years after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in the U.S., despite being the subject of a massive international manhunt. The youngest, 30-year-old Yemeni wife Amal Ahmed Abdel-Fatah al-Sada, has told investigators bin Laden lived in five houses while on the run and fathered four children, two of whom were born in Pakistani government hospitals and cORRECTING NAME OF LAWYER TO ATIF ALI KHAN - Zakariya Ahmad Abd Al-Fattah, brother-in-law of Bin Laden, left, faces the media cameras as he leaves the house where Osama bin Laden's family are being detained, with lawyer Atif Ali Khan, right, in Islamabad, Pakistan, on Monday, April 2, 2012.

They have been in detention since American commandos killed bin Laden in a large house in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad on May 2, but they were formally charged with immigration offences only last month. The Americans left the women and children behind in the house after they flew off with bin Laden's corpse. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
