Pakistan Returns US Helicopter From Bin Laden Raid

24 May 2011 VOA News The Pentagon says Pakistan has returned the wreckage of
an American military helicopter that was destroyed during the U.S. raid that
killed Osama bin Laden.

Spokesman Colonel Dave Lapan told VOA Tuesday that the helicopter wreckage
was returned over the weekend and is now back in the United States. He did
not disclose a specific location.

U.S. Special Operations Forces destroyed the aircraft after it malfunctioned
during the May 2 military operation targeting the al-Qaida leader in the
Pakistani city of Abbottabad.

U.S. military officials had feared the helicopter's cutting-edge technology
could fall into the wrong hands and be replicated elsewhere.

Pakistani leaders criticized the covert U.S. raid as a violation of
Pakistan's sovereignty and warned against future unilateral actions.

The U.S. operation further strained ties between the two countries.
