Geee Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Dawn.com:ISLAMABAD, May 3: Osama bin Laden’s teenage daughter witnessed her father’s death in the compound in Abbottabad according to an ISI official. The girl is now in Pakistani custody together with Bin Laden’s wife. The wife, who speaks only Arabic and who was injured in the attack, said on regaining consciousness that she was Yemeni and that she had been in the compound for a few months.The official said there were 17 or 18 people in the compound at the time of the attack and that as well as taking Osama bin Laden’s body away the Americans took one person alive — possibly one of his sons.Four dead bodies were left in the compound. It is believed they are of another son, 2 brothers and a guard.Those who survived the attack included the wife, the daughter and 8 to 9 other children — not apparently Bin Laden’s but possibly those of his brothers. All those being held in Pakistan will be returned to their countries of origin.When the Pakistan authorities found the surviving women and children in the compound their hands were bound with plastic tags and it is believed that had one of the American helicopters not malfunctioned then they too would have been taken away.There were four helicopters involved in the attack: two remained in the air and two landed. The Pakistani authorities recovered some documents from the compound apparently missed by the Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Oh, good grief. "Pakistan authorities" has to be an oxymoron as well at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
