Three wives and eight children still in Pakistani custody

PAKISTANI authorities still have three of Osama bin Laden’s wives and eight of his children in custody, a week after the US raid that killed the Saudi terrorist leader.

The government claims no countries have asked for their return.

Pakistan gained custody of bin Laden’s family members after the covert US operation on May 2 that killed the al-Qaida chief and four others at his hideout in the north-western city of Abbottabad and put further strain on relations between the countries.
