Islamabad: A Taliban plot to rescue Bin Laden’s youngest widow from custody in Pakistan has reportedly been foiled.
According
to the Sun, terror Chief Mullah Omar ordered 500 men to raid a safe
house in Pakistan where Amal Abdulfattah was being interrogated with
two other wives of Bin Laden.
It is believed that the location
was leaked by an informer in Pakistan’s ISI intelligence service.
However, the assault was cancelled when the trio and about five of Bin
Laden’s children were moved after alerts were raised, The Sun reports.
An
ISI source said: "For weeks we’ve been intercepting calls and getting
alerts from our men in tribal areas that the raid was on. Now we are
all under orders to tighten security around the Bin Laden family.
Concern is so great we moved them three times in recent weeks."
Twenty-nine-year-old
Amal was injured while trying to protect her husband, Bin Laden, during
the US Navy Seals’ attack on the Abbottabad compound in Pakistan in
May. Pakistani security sources say she is refusing to co-operate with
them.
The Yemeni-born woman has a ten-year-old daughter, and
officials fear that they may be new figureheads for the terror
organisation if they are rescued.
Another source close to the
ISI said: "Amal boasts that she can use guns and even rocket-launchers.
She says she wants to lead a war on infidels and train her kids as
Mujahideen." Online
