Osama bin Laden's three widows and 11 of his children were tonight leaving Pakistan and flying to Saudi Arabia, it was reported.
The women were sentenced to 45 days in prison by a Pakistani court for illegally remaining in the country. Their deportation was ordered after the prison term, which began on March 3.
According to AP, a Pakistani government official was quoted as saying Saudi Arabia was "the country of their choice" to be deported to, following the raid which killed bin Laden last year.
It comes after the Al Qaeda kingpin's youngest wife, Amal Abdulfattah al-Sadah, reportedly claimed she was keen to move to Britain.
The Yemen-born 29-year-old claimed she would “love to meet the Royal Family”, The Sun said.
Al-Sadah, who married bin Laden at the age of 17, was apparently considering claiming asylum in Britain.
Her brother Zakaria al-Sadah exclusively told the newspaper: “We would definitely like to live in the UK – we have nothing against the UK or its people. Amal would migrate there if given a chance.
“She loves humanity and likes to live in a liberal environment. She is not an extremist.”
Bin Laden’s other wives Khairia, 61 and Siham, 48, are reported to have clashed with al-Sadah over her demands for sex from bin Laden “24 hours a day”.
Bin Laden moved into the three-storey house in 2005 and lived there until it was stormed by Navy Seals in May 2011.
The house was located just half a mile from one of Pakistan’s top army training academies, which caused embarrassment for the country’s intelligence services, AP reported.
US officials say there was no evidence senior Pakistan officials were aware of bin Laden’s location.
Residents living nearby told the Independent they had thought the building would be turned into a mosque, school or clinic.
Shah Mohammad said: “I think they should build a mosque. If you build a school there, people will just associate it with bin Laden.”
A source had told the paper demolition was on the cards ahead of the event, adding: “There is an issue, in our culture, of such places becoming shrines.”

It would be interesting to know the bettting odds on all ending up in the UK or is it a case of betting on how long it will take for them to either enter the UK or given asylum.Will they all be in the UK by next month, before next Chistmas?
This would of course be on humanitarian grounds and if they have any money left over could afford a nice flat in knightsbridge complete with a 24 hour guard of police, and all of this thanks to the UK taxpayer.
If they have no money then thanks to the UK taxpayer could be offered a house which must have at the very minimum a 22" colour TV with license, and the utility meters must be credit meters, and thanks to the general rules for landlords housing asylum seekers. Not to forget the taxpayer of course.
These general rules also state that the accomodation is redecorated every 3 years since one could not expect this lot to walk to B&Q and do some real graft since that would be inhuman.
Some phone calls are payable by the Home Office too but the Let Them All In Brigade could write to their holy Guardian newspaper and lobby for lottery monies to be granted since the national lottery board is full of those who love the diversity of immigration provided they never have to see it at home or have to compete with it at work. Recognise your MP here?

It just proves that our government is gut less. We give our own people up to America the minute they ask for them , but won't get rid of any one who comes here to blow us to pieces while living in absolute luxury at our expence.When Strasbourge tells us about these evil peoples human rights Cameron should tell them of the rights of innocent British people's to live a full and happy life without looking over our shoulders trying to avoid being blown to bits every single day.They should never be let into the country in the first place then we wouldn't spend years getting rid of them. Our own government lets them in . They are failing in their duty to the British people and should be taken to court for doing so.

Cameron, is friendly with Saudi Arabia. To improve relations with this country, Cameron will most probabl;y invite this massive family to come and stay in Benefits Britain, after all everyone else is here draining our already depleted cash flow. London is now moving people around like a Chess board, because there is no more room......

The frightening truth is that all his relatives have expressed a desire to move to the U.K. apparently they like us. If Cameron hears this he will probably invite them. I would not be surprised if he is already negotiating the purchase of an estate for them, to keep them safe from all of us nasty people who don't like terrorist or their families..
disgruntledwelling: The frightening truth is that all his relatives have expressed
amazing how fast these countries can deport anyone they don't want in their country, yet if the u.k tries to deport a terrorist then they are held back for years from doing so and have a mountain of red tape to get through.
gimmeanamethen: amazing how fast these countries can deport anyone they don't
