London, Oct 2 : The British tabloid The Sun has reported that Taliban supremo Mullah Omar tried to send nearly 500 Taliban militants in a plot to snatch Osama Bin Laden's youngest widow from custody, but the plan was foiled. Terror chief Mullah Omar ordered 500 men to raid a safe house in Pakistan where Amal Abdulfattah was being interrogated with two more Bin Laden brides.
It is thought the location was leaked by an informer in Pakistan's ISI intelligence service. But the assault was cancelled when the trio and up to five of Bin Laden's children were moved after tip-offs.
An ISI source told The Sun: "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."
The family was last night believed to be at a fortified compound in the capital Islamabad.
Amal, 29, was injured leaping in front of the al-Qaeda chief as US soldiers killed him in May. Pakistani security sources say she is refusing to co-operate with them.
The Yemeni-born firebrand has a daughter, ten, by Bin Laden and officials fear they may be new figureheads for the terror organisation if they are sprung.
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."
