Osama bin Laden lived in five safehouses while on the run in Pakistan and fathered four children, two of them born in government hospitals, his youngest widow has told investigators.

The details of Bin Laden's life as a fugitive are contained in the interrogation report of Amal Ahmed Abdel-Fatah al-Sada, his 30-year-old Yemeni widow. They appear to raise fresh questions over how Bin Laden was able to remain undetected for so long.
Details from the report were first published by the Pakistani newspaper Dawn. The Associated Press obtained a copy on Friday.
Sada is in Pakistani custody along with Bin Laden's two other widows and several children. They were arrested after the US raid that killed Bin Laden in May last year at his final hideout in Abbottabad, during which Sada was shot in the leg.
Mohammed Amir Khalil, a lawyer for the three widows, said the women would be formally charged on 2 April with illegally staying in Pakistan. That charge carries a maximum five-year prison sentence.
Since the US raid it has been known that Bin Laden lived mostly in Pakistan since 2002. Sada's account says she flew to Pakistan in 2000 and travelled to Afghanistan where she married Bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks.
After that, the family scattered and she travelled to Karachi, in Pakistan. She later met up with Bin Laden in Peshawar and then moved to the Swat Valley, where they lived in two houses. They moved one more time before settling in Abbottabad in 2005.
According to the report, Sada said two of her children were born in government hospitals, but she stayed for only "two or three hours" in the clinics on both occasions. The charge sheet against the three women says they gave officials fake identities.
During the manhunt for Bin Laden, most US and Pakistani officials said he was likely to be living somewhere along the remote Afghanistan-Pakistan border, possibly in a cave. The fact he was living in populated parts of Pakistan raised suspicions that elements in the Pakistani security forces may have been hiding him. US officials have said they have found no evidence this was the case
