SANA'A: Pakistani authorities have announced Osama bin Laden's widows were free to return home, after having being imprisoned for entering the country illegally. News has surfaced that Amal Ahmed Abdel-Fatah al-Sadah, the late al-Qaeda's leader Yemeni wife, has decided to return to Saudi Arabia rather than Yemen – as her in-laws there offered to take care of her and her five children. The young woman, who originally announced she would return to Yemen, changed her mind – preferring to accept her wealthy in-laws' offer, and enjoy a life of privilege. The bin Ladens, who are of Yemeni ancestry, are one of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's most prominent families with billions of dollars. Amal's brother, who took care of his sister's legal defense and contacted the Yemeni authorities, seeking their assistance in regard to her release and that of her children, said Amal was concerned for her children' safety in Yemen, where anonymity would be difficult to maintain. “The bin Laden family [in Saudi Arabia] will provide a much safer and secure environment for the children to grow up in,” he told Bikyamasr.com.
