US 'can talk to Bin Laden wives'
Pakistan has informed the US that it will grant access to Osama bin Laden’s wives, an American official has said.
Despite simmering relations between the two countries over the unannounced raid by US Navy SEALs on Pakistani soil, the official said the US expected to have access to bin Laden’s three wives soon.
The White House said yesterday that it was very interested in interviewing the women, who could provide information about bin Laden’s life in hiding.
The women have been in Pakistani custody since the SEALs helicoptered away from the compound with bin Laden’s body.
The official spoke anonymously to discuss private discussions between the two countries.
There was no immediate confirmation from Pakistan in the pre-dawn hours in Islamabad.
