Osama bin Laden's children free to go: Malik

ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Rehman A. Malik Thursday said that a judicial remand was acquired after filing a case against Osama bin Laden’s family under the law of the land, Geo News reported.

Talking to media in the federal capital, Malik said that bin Laden’s children were free to travel abroad as there were no cases against them.

He said that bin Laden family’s adults faced cases under the foreign act for they were cognizant of the laws of Pakistan they violated knowingly.

Malik did not give any details on the family of former al Qaeda chief, who was killed in a covert US raid on his compound in Abbottabad.

Malik also said the five-room building in which bin Laden family was under house-arrest, was not at all a jail, adding it had all the amenities of a "home".
