We are told there were survivors of the assault on the Abbottabad compound that allegedly housed ObL for over five years right under the noses of the CIA and Pakistan military. The survivors allegedly include three of ObLs wives and about ten children of ages between 2 to 12 years. As far as I know they were last reported to be in a hospital in Rawalpindi, and they have not been seen in public.
The USA says it has demanded they be handed over. Pakistan says it has received no such request from the USA.
Pakistan says a 12 year old girl claiming to ObLs daughter says ObL was captured in the first few minutes of the raid on the compound and that she saw ObL being shot dead. This contradicts claims from the USA that ObL was killed at the end of the raid when he was caught in a room with his wife, who tried to protect ObL but got shot in the leg,
Pakistan also says that one of the wives says she moved there only a few months ago (I heard this on BBC Radio 4 on Monday 2/5/2011), while now it seems they have been there for years.
Only a press conference with all survivors free to answer any question from the international free press can clear up some if not all of the contradictions in this never-ending story.
