|
[**Bin Laden**][2], a mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York
|
|
and Washington, died in a May 2 raid on his [**Pakistan**][3] compound by a
|
|
team of U.S. SEALs who seized what U.S. officials describe as a treasure trove
|
|
of intelligence material.
|
|
|
|
Authorities are now trying to piece together vital elements of the al Qaeda
|
|
leader's life, including how he came to live in the northern Pakistan garrison
|
|
town of Abbottabad and who he met with before his death.
|
|
|
|
"The U.S. has questioned bin Laden's widows, but they're not particularly
|
|
forthcoming yet," a U.S. official with knowledge of the investigation said on
|
|
condition of anonymity.
|
|
|
|
Pentagon spokesman Col. David Lapan confirmed that U.S. government
|
|
representatives had been able to question the wives. He declined to specify
|
|
what agency the U.S. government officials represented or to offer any details
|
|
of the meeting.
|
|
|
|
U.S. authorities are working with Pakistani officials to gain additional
|
|
access to the women.

Pakistan has said it will repatriate the three widows and their children. One
|
|
is from Yemen and two from Saudi Arabia.
|
|
|
|
Islamabad, which is angry that it was not informed about the U.S. special
|
|
forces raid that killed bin Laden, is under pressure to explain how the al
|
|
Qaeda leader came to live such a short distance from the country's main
|
|
military academy.
|
|
|
|
His presence has deepened suspicions that Pakistan's Inter-Services
|
|
Intelligence spy agency may have had ties to bin Laden and other al Qaeda
|
|
operatives.
