hataru/हटारु: Wife shot in leg, screamed Osama's name
Amal Al-Sadah was 17 when she got married to Osama. The wedding took place in Afghanistan.
Osama bin Laden's youngest wife, Amal Al-Sadah, 27, was shot in the leg in Monday's raid on the Abbottabad complex where the terror kingpin was in hiding.
As the Seals secured the compound and moved into the building, there was confusion and reports say, she shrieked out Osama's name which gave the terror mastermind away in the melee. Early reports had said she was being used as a human shield to protect Osama but later the US establishment came up with a denial of the story. It was later said that one woman had indeed got caught in the crossfire and had died, but she was not Osama's youngest wife. This unnamed woman could well be the wife of bin Laden's courier, Sheikh Abu Ahmed, who died in the raid. In the new version of the story that White House press secretary Jay Carney gave out, he said: "bin Laden's wife rushed the assaulters and was shot in the leg but not killed."
Al-Sadah was married to Osama when she was just 17 and fiercely loyal to her husband. Their wedding took place in Afghanistan. Yemen born, the marriage was reportedly arranged to strengthen the al-Qaida chief's links with the Gulf.
