The U.S. Has Questioned Bin Laden's Wives

The U.S. government has had the opportunity to question the wives of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, Colonel Dave Lapan, a Pentagon spokesperson confirms.

Lapan declined to give additional details, but CNN reports that the interview took place in the presence of the Pakistani officials.

The widows involvement in the U.S. raid that killed their husband has changed along with the American government’s narrative of raid. Initially, the U.S. said that bin Laden used one as a human shield, but then reported that she, instead, charged U.S. forces entering the room.

Following the raid on the compound, U.S. forces reportedly moved members of the bin Laden family to a safe location while they detonated a downed helicopter, but did not attempt to take them into U.S. custody.
