A commission investigating how Osama bin Laden lived undetected for years in the country has interviewed the al Qaeda leader's widows and daughters for the first time, it said Wednesday. The "exhaustive interview" of bin Laden's three widows and two of his daughters took place on Tuesday, the commission announced in a brief statement.
Officials refused to divulge any further details. Initial efforts to repatriate the women and children ran aground when the commission in July ordered them to remain in Pakistan until further notice, indicating that it wanted to question them in relation to its inquiries. The commission also interviewed the head of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency, Ahmad Shuja Pasha, on Wednesday and would question him again on Thursday, it said.
