The relative says Amal Ahmed Abdel-Fatah al-Sada received assurances from Saudi officials that she and her children could remain in the country.

The family member spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.

Two other bin Laden widows and children were flown out of Pakistan early on Friday, but they are Saudi citizens.

Saudi officials have no public comment on the deportations.
