Three of Osama bin Laden’s wives, once thought to know the family secrets of the world’s most wanted fugitive, are soon expected to leave Pakistan after seven months in custody, according to Pakistani officials.

The three women — two Saudis and one Yemeni — were picked up by security officials early on the morning of May 2 in Abbottabad, Pakistan, just minutes after U.S. Navy SEALs killed the al Qaeda leader in the compound where U.S. officials believe he had been living for six years.

The three wives have been held by Pakistan’s intelligence service ever since, but it’s not clear they ever knew enough to shed light on bin Laden’s travels after 2001 and how he came to be living in Abbottabad, Pakistan’s equivalent of West Point.
