Widow claims bin Laden fathered children whilst on the run

Osama bin Laden fathered four children on the run in Pakistan, it has been claimed.

The former al-Qaeda laeader lived in five safe houses whilst evading authorities and two of the children were born in government hospitals, according to one of his widows.

These details of bin Laden’s life as a fugitive in Pakistan are contained in the interrogation report of Amal Ahmed Abdel-Fatah al-Sada, bin Laden’s Yemeni widow.

They raise fresh questions over how bin Laden was able to remain undetected for so long. Details from the report were first published by the Pakistani newspaper Dawn.

Al-Sada is currently in Pakistani custody, along with bin Laden’s two other wives and several children. They were arrested after the U.S. raid that killed bin Laden in May in his final hideout in the town of Abbottabad.
