re: #249 reine.de.tout

The guy who accidentally live-tweeted the raid was talking about those kids, and either he (or someone else) linked to a story about what’s happening to them.

Pakistan said they would be returned to their country of origin.

Saudi Arabia has refused them entry - bin Laden’s citizenship had been revoked, so they are not children of a Saudi citizen and thus have no citizenship claims there.

There’s confusion, apparently, about where they were born.

Pakistan’s education system leaves a lot to be desired, apparently. A couple of radical madrassas have volunteered to take the children; no telling what they would be learning there.

He (the guy who live-tweeted the raid) suggested that the US should volunteer to adopt those kids? I don’t know how that could happen, if their mothers are still living. It seems to be pretty massive confusion over there right now, what to do with the survivors from that compound, adults and children alike.

They would have been born in Afghanistan or Pakistan, neither of which country would want them now.
