YEMEN,Sana’a May17,2011(Naseh News) - A Yemeni rights activist says his organization is trying to repatriate the young Yemeni widow of Osama bin Laden following the U.S. raid that killed the al-Qaida chief in Pakistan.
Lawyer Abdul Rahman Barman from HOOD Org. says the widow, Amal Ahmed Abdel-Fatah al-Sada, should be brought back to her native country. She and her daughter, as well as two other bin-Laden wives and several children, are now held by Pakistani authorities.
"We will call on the Yemeni government to demand the release and repatriation of Amal, who is detained and being questioned in Pakistan by the Americans," said Baraman.
"She is innocent. Her only crime was having married Osama bin Laden," he added
The 29-year-old al-Sada was shot in the leg during the May 2 raid by U.S. Navy SEALs on bin Laden's compound in Pakistan.
Amal al-Sada's family told The Associated Press that they saw her only once after her marriage in late 1999 to the al-Qaeda leader - during a monthlong visit to Afghanistan the following year. Communication was largely limited to messages delivered by couriers.
Her father, Ahmed Abdel-Fatah al-Sada, says his daughter wasn't involved in bin Laden's activities, and that "her return is a basic demand."
