One of Osama Bin Laden's daughters watched as U.S. forces shot and killed
her father Sunday, according to a senior Pakistani official.

The unidentified official
<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/03/osama-bin-laden-wife-children-paki
stan_n_856974.html> told Reuters that the daughter, aged 12 or 13, is one of
an unspecified number of people who have confirmed that the al-Qaida leader
had been killed during the U.S. military raid on his secret compound in
Pakistan.

She is also one of nine or so of Bin Laden's relatives currently awaiting
interrogation by the Pakistan government. The official said that in addition
to as many as eight of Bin Laden's children, the country also has custody of
one of Bin Laden's wives.

It is not clear if the wife is the same one who was originally reported to
have been killed during the Sunday raid. (The
<http://slatest.slate.com/posts/2011/05/03/bin_laden_unarmed_white_house_wal
ks_back_key_details_of_osama_ki.html> White House now says that, contrary to
what it originally reported, Bin Laden did not use one of his wives as a
human shield, and that the wife in question was injured and not killed
during the 40-minute military operation.)

The relatives will be interrogated and then most likely turned over to their
countries of origin, in accordance with Pakistani law, according to the
official.

It appears as though U.S. forces may have originally meant to bring the
relatives with them when they left the compound aboard military helicopters.

Reuters:

The official said the wife and children were left behind after an American
transport helicopter, possibly an MH-60 Sea Hawk, was abandoned because of
mechanical problems.

He said there was not enough room for the group on the other helicopters,
which were transporting bin Laden's body, other male captives and the
commandos.
