U.S. Interrogated ‘Hostile’ Bin Laden Wives
By ROBERT MACKEY
Updated | 11:33 a.m. Three of Osama bin Laden’s wives, who survived the American raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and are now in Pakistan’s custody, were “hostile” when they spoke to United States intelligence officials this week, American and Pakistani officials told CNN.
An American official in Islamabad told The Guardian that a Bin Laden daughter was also among those interviewed by American interrogators on Tuesday or Wednesday in the presence of officials from Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence directorate. The unnamed official confirmed that the women displayed a hostile attitude, which, he said, was “not overly surprising considering that we had killed their husband or father.”
American officials identified the three widows to CNN as Bin Laden’s second, third and fifth wives: Khairiah Sabar, who has been known as Umm Hamza since she gave birth to a son named Hamza; Siham Sabar, who is known as Umm Khaled; and Amal Ahmed Abdulfattah, who is also known as Amal Ahmed al-Sadah.

Bin Laden's HIGH security compound: Marijuana plants grew near hideout as servants made trips for 'lots' of VERY western Coke and Pepsi
Last updated at 2:06 PM on 4th May 2011
High-strength marijuana plants have been found just yards from the luxury home of slain terror chief Osama Bin Laden.
Hundreds of the exotic green flower have flourished for a number of years on the border of the war lord's secret compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
Despite being a short walk from a military training academy dubbed 'Pakistan's Sandhurst', the illegal crop had remained undiscovered.
But hundreds of officials have descended on the busy town this week after Bin Laden was blasted in the brain by U.S. Navy Seals.
An American reporter noticed the pungent line of plants growing in the dry fields surrounding the five-metre high concrete walls.
CNN's Nic Robertson showed to the camera the marijuana hidden alongside other crops including cabbages and potatoes.
