Three of Osama Bin Laden's wives and two of his eldest daughters were
convicted in Pakistani court of illegal residency on Monday.
Agence
France-Presse reports that the women received a 45-day jail term and a fine
of 10,000 rupees ($114) each. The sentence, however, will likely be back-dated
to early March, when the trial first began, meaning the five will likely be
deported to their countries of citizenship in two weeks.
Two of the widows are believed to be from Saudi Arabia, while the other is
from Yemen, and are thought to currently reside with all of their children—a
total estimate of about 10—in a secret house in Islamabad, where they will serve
out the sentence, the BBC reports. Only
children older than age 12 were charged.
