Doc recalls kids from Osama home

For pediatrician Mehar Dil Wazir, they were a normal bunch of kids, like the dozens of others he treats daily for tummy upsets, coughs and colds

For pediatrician Mehar Dil Wazir, they were a normal bunch of kids, like the dozens of others he treats daily for tummy upsets, coughs and colds. He thought the same about the two men who brought them to his simple clinic, a well-dressed pair who said they were cousins.

But a few days after the May 2 raid that killed Osama bin Laden in the Pakistani town, intelligence agents told him his child patients lived in the same house with the terror leader. The men who brought them in were bin Laden's most trusted couriers. "They seemed to be gentlemen," Wazir said revealing for the first time his connection with bin Laden. "And the kids were good looking and healthy." Agents told the 67-year-old doctor they traced him from prescriptions he had written that were found in the bin Laden house. They questioned him for several hours and left, satisfied that he did not know the identity of his patients. Wazir's recollections give fresh glimpses into the life of the world's most wanted man, his family and associates.
