Pakistan is to deport Osama bin Laden’s three widows and their children to Saudi Arabia next week, the family’s lawyer said today.

Osama bin Laden’s three widows and two of his daughters have been convicted of illegally living in Pakistan by one of the country’s courts and jailed for 45 days.

Osama bin Laden lived in five safe houses while on the run in Pakistan and fathered four children – two of them born in government hospitals, according to one his widows.
