Osama bin Laden's youngest injured widow could be extradited to US

Osama bin Laden's youngest widow, who is recovering in a hospital after being injured during the raid on the al-Qaeda leader's Pakistan compound, could reportedly be extradited to the United States.
Twenty-nine-year-old Amal Ahmed Abdulfattah from Yemen is being questioned by Pakistani officials in the military hospital.
According to Fox News, a Pakistani official has indicated the possibility of Amal being extradited to Washington, but added that no decision has been reached, The New York Post reports.
She had reportedly told Pakistani investigators that bin Laden and his family had been living in the Abbottabad compound for the past five years, and added that her husband's role in the al Qaeda had been limited to only receiving funds, the official said.
Amal, whom bin Laden had married in 2000, was among 17 people present during the raids in the Pakistani compound, and was reportedly injured in the crossfire. (ANI)
