Saudi receives Bin Ladens on humanitarian grounds

Saudi Arabia has allowed the three widows and children of slain Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden entrance into the kingdom on humanitarian grounds, a Saudi-owned daily reported on Saturday.
Citing a senior Saudi official, the London-based Asharq al-Awsat said the kingdom "dealt with bin Laden's wives on humanitarian grounds," adding that authorities were confident that they and the children "were not involved in" the operations of the extremist group.
The widows -- two Saudis and a Yemeni -- arrived on Friday with their 10 children, after being expelled from Pakistan, Mohammed Naji Allaw, head of the Yemeni non-governmental group Hood, told AFP.
Saudi Arabia has kept totally silent on the issue and so far has not officially confirmed their arrival.
Yemen's ambassador to Islamabad, Abdo Abdulrahman, however told the newspaper "bin Laden's family arrived in Saudi Arabia on Friday morning ... on a private plane provided by the bin Laden family."
