CBS News) CBS News confirms Pakistan has informed the United States that the ISI will allow access to Osama bin Laden's three widows who were left behind in the raid that killed the terrorist near Islamabad.

Pakistan denies US access to Bin Ladens widows, compound
Pakistan has denied United States access to Bin Ladens widows and his compound in Abbottabad.
According to a report published by a US newspaper, Pakistans denial increased tension between the two sides. The White House itself confirmed that Pakistan had denied the US access to Bin Ladens widows and his compound in Abbottabad. Obama administration said that the US was trying to remove the hurdles and take steps forward in the matter.
It is pertinent to mention here that the US commandos, after killing Osama, left his widows and most of the stuff, found in his compound, behind; which are now in Pakistans custody.
