Older bin Laden widows think younger wife tipped off US

THE three widows of Osama bin Laden are turning on each other in custody, with two older Saudi women blaming a much younger Yemeni wife for leading American intelligence to their hideout.

"It's vicious," said a Pakistani official briefed on the interrogation of the widows. "The older wives think the younger one tipped off the Americans or was tracked when she came to join him."

The al-Qa'ida leader was living with three wives when he was killed in Abbottabad three weeks ago. Until US investigators discovered his hiding place, it was not known whether bin Laden and his family were alive. Some reports suggested that they had been killed in the US bombing of Afghanistan.

Although the compound where bin Laden hid for five years was large, the three wives were all cooped up in the same house. The older two lived on the second floor and the youngest one on the top. Their husband alternated between them. Pakistani officials who have been debriefing the women portray life in the compound as an Islamic version of Desperate Housewives.

"It's a well-known fact that when you have two older wives and then this young one comes along half their age, they don't like it," said one.

The wives even dispute who tried to protect their husband in the raid. The youngest was reported to have attempted to save him, sustaining a bullet wound to her calf. But the older wives say they were the ones who rushed to shield him.

I won’t be surprised if the older two try to kill the youngest. It happens all the time in those cultures.

One (at a time, three times, one per each) was too many. None seems to work better for me and the catz. Islamofacists are crazy.

Imagine 3 mother-in-laws...... shudder....

I’ve had similar problems with my wives. A well known and studied syndrome.

I’m sure Jerry Springer would take them! Maybe Oprah will try to scoop them all to try and save her sink network by having them come on her show.

Probably guano. But good work on the part of the Company if true.
