No country wants to deal with the three widows and nine children of Osama bin Laden. Right now they are in protective custody in Islamabad. Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik had formally requested Saudi Arabia to accept Osama's family during a visit to Riyadh, according The Herald Tribune. The Saudis rejected this request, saying that Osama had been stripped of his Saudi citizenship more than 15 years ago.
Osama was born in Saudi Arabia and his extended family stand among the Kingdom's most powerful people.
Yemen also refused to accept custody of Amal Abdulfattah, one of the three widows of Bin Laden and her five children....

Osama was the idiot son. His father left a respected legacy in the Kingdom, and the last thing they would want is to bring the spawn of this hopelessly misguided zealot back into the fold.

If al-Qaeda is such a wonderful Muslim society, how about they help the family left from the casualty of their chief?

Since when does America take care of widows and orphans of the enemy killed in war? This is insane!

Hopefully, they all are accepted in to hell,
Real soon.

Paperdoll, you may be clairvoyant. There is a very short list of countries that will accept them. Syria is at the top of the list as they have accepted every bin Laden that has lost their Saudi nationality and UBL's fist wife and many of his kids are there already.
There is a rumor that extradition to the US is also in the works. No one wants them in Pakistan.

I should amend my comments, two of UBL's wives are not only Saudi's but from very prominent families, the Sabars. One of them is descended from the prophet muhammad. It is very likely that they could go back to Saudi.
The Yemeni is quite another problem, no one wants her and extraditing her to the US keeps her and the kids on ice and away from AQ.
