1 May 2011: “According to eyewitnesses, a low-flying helicopter crashed in a populated area near the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA); as a result, a man was killed and two others were injured. The injured have been shifted to the Combined Military Hospital. Two houses caught fire in the incident. Rescue teams reached the scene and started the relief work.” Pakistan Army Aviation Helicopter Crashes Near Abbottabad …
Was more than one helicopter brought down?….
“The discovery that bin Laden has been hiding under its nose near a military garrison is a blow to its reputation on almost as great a scale as defeat at the hands of the Indian army over Bangladesh in 1971. A lawyer in Abbottabad, Mohammed Iqbal, told me of his shock that a 700,000 strong army should have been unable to arrest bin Laden, and “foreigners should come here and take him away”.
The impotence of the Pakistan army was rubbed in again last night, when the United States led another drone attack on Pakistan soil, reportedly killing 10 militants in the remote north-western province of Waziristan.
The killing of bin Laden is also a major blow for the country’s president, Asif Ali Zardari. The operation was kept secret from Zardari because he was not trusted by his US allies. Meanwhile there are charges that the house was connected to the Pakistan intelligence service, the ISI – an institution now privately regarded by the US as akin to a terrorist organisation.”…
“Further confusion now concerns the level of Pakistani involvement in the operation that killed bin Laden. According to the United States, the Pakistan government only found out about the raid after it had finished. Many security experts say this account defies credibility. President Zardari may not have known, they say, but someone in the upper echleons of power must have”.
”
“Even if the helicopters had evaded Pakistan’s expensive early warning radar systems – itself highly unlikely – they say that there is no way they could have remained unnoticed for 45 minutes in one of Pakistan’s premier garrison towns.”..
“”Furthermore, even trying to avoid detection would be highly dangerous in case Pakistani fighter planes shot down the US helicopters…”
Did the Pakistan authorities know what was going on?
“It was suggested to me that trusted individuals within the Pakistani defence and security establishment – and certainly the Pakistan chief of staff, General Kayani – were informed through discrete channels, most probably when General David Petraeus paid a surprise visit to Islamabad last week.”…
Consider this as well.
Zardari or his PM are yet to make a Statement on what happened in Abbotabad.
