Bin Laden's wife held in Yemen
AFP [ SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 03, 2002 09:28:23 AM ]
LONDON: The youngest wife of al-Qaeda leader
Osama bin
Laden has been arrested after a gun battle at
her father's
compound in Yemen, a British paper reported on
Sunday.
Amal al-Saddah, Bin Laden's fifth and favourite
wife, who is in
her early twenties, has been placed under house
arrest and
questioned by Yemeni authorities, The Sunday
Times said on its
front page.
Arab diplomats told the paper that shooting
broke out at the
family home in Ibb, south of Sana'a, when
security forces
arrived last month.
"She (al-Saddah) escaped from her hiding place
in southern
Afghanistan which he (Bin Laden) had made his
base, only to
find herself closely guarded under house arrest
in her father's
compound," the paper said.
Her father and brother have also been taken into
custody, partly
because of US pressure to obtain information
about the fugitive
al-Qaeda leader and his international web of
terrorism, the
paper quoted Yemeni sources as saying.
