Inside the prison 'home' where Osama bin Laden's wives, children and grandchildren are hidden away while they await their fate

For nearly a year they have been locked up and out of sight, their lives and fates a mystery to the world.

Since Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. Navy Seals last May, his widows, children and grandchildren have been kept in a secure home while Pakistan decides their fate.

Now the Al Arabiya television network has obtained footage from inside their 'guest house' in Islamabad.

Inside, we see domestic scenes, as toddlers and children play with teddy bears and cricket bats, while the three widows of the former terrorist leader look on or read the Koran.

But the boarded-up windows and a heavy armed presence outside indicate that while the place may serve as a home for the occupants, it is also a prison for Osama's relatives.
