The family of Osama bin Laden, including three widows and 11 children, left Pakistan for Saudi Arabia early on Friday morning, less than a week before the first anniversary of the al Qaeda leader's death in an American raid, Reuters reported.

"Yes, they're being deported to Saudi Arabia," said Aamir Khalil, the family's lawyer.

Earlier this month, a court sentenced the women to 45 days in prison for entering Pakistan illegally. It ordered their deportation after the end of the prison term, which began on March 3 when they were formally arrested.

據路透社報道，周五早上，前基地組織頭目本·拉登的家人，包括3名遺孀11名子女離開巴基斯坦，前往沙特阿拉伯。目前距美軍突襲本·拉登行動發生一周年還有不到一周時間。

本·拉登的家庭律師阿米爾·卡里爾稱：“是的，他們被驅逐到沙特阿拉伯了。”

本月初，巴基斯坦一家法院以非法入境及非法居留罪判處本·拉登的妻子和孩子45天監禁，監禁期自今年3月3日巴方正式逮捕她們之日算起。根據判決，她們應在監禁期滿后被驅逐出境。
