Bin Laden family charged and sentenced in Pakistan

Osama Bin Laden's three widows and two eldest daughters have been charged and sentenced for living in Pakistan illegally.



Their lawyers have confirmed that the women received a jail term of 45 days in prison and have been fined 10,000 rupees each.



The women have already served a month of their sentence and are expected to be deported in two weeks.



They have been in Pakistani custody ever since US special forces killed the al-Qaeda chief last May.



The widows and all their children have been held at a house in the capital, Islamabad, which has been designated as a sub-jail.



Officials say formal legal proceedings against the women began last month.
