What would you do if we invade BD, sent UAV's to terrorize you and sent a killing squad? And why are you bangladeshi whining about the past?

Pakistan says will not share US helicopter wreckage

Pakistan said Wednesday -

So what? Who believes what Pakistan says anymore? Look at this Osama fallout, the GoP releases stories that they both cooperated with the Americans and didn't, that it was with permission and wasn't. The intentional divisiveness robs citizens and elected officials of their ability to make good decisions and judgments and reinforces the control of those who hand out the information - ultimately, the Pakistani military itself.

The bigger story here: the Pakistani military needs to yield to democratic supervision of its every move. If not, then why shouldn't it be declared an enemy of the people, rather than their defender?

Silence....

It is just the calm before storms build slowly over the horizon, headed this way.

US saves no more rights to claim wreckage of helicopter & now this is situational property of Pakistan. Pakistan saves rights to do what ever he want with these parts, no important how useful it can be.

I'd be prety damn surprised if chinese haven't already had a good look at the wreckage.

the only think chinese would be intrested in is the paint job and they can get all the samples they need without having to look at the wreckage.

If this is betrayal, then what is the name for the thing of giving the US helicopter wreckage to china after getting US aids

you may be right..pakistan should not even thing of looking into a gimmick so useless that it fell out of sky on such an important mission,and probably on its maiden flight.

Pakistan to return Osama bin Laden helicopter wreckage to US
Pentagon feared cutting-edge hardware in tail could have betrayed military secrets if reverse-engineered in China

Pakistan will return the wreckage of the US special forces helicopter used in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden as a tentative first step towards hitting the reset button in their badly damaged relations.

Senator John Kerry announced the offer in Islamabad after 24 hours of meetings with Pakistan's military and civilian leadership amid deep mutual mistrust and recriminations since Bin Laden's killing on 2 May.

The US feared cutting-edge military technology in the tail of the helicopter, abandoned after US forces blew up the rest of the craft, could be reverse-engineered in China.

A joint statement following the talks reported "a constructive exchange of views" – diplomatic speak for tough-talking – but also an agreement to work together against "high value targets". It was not clear if these targets included the Taliban leader Mullah Omar or al-Qaida's number two, Ayman al-Zawahiri, both of whom are believed to be in Pakistan.

Kerry, considered the "good cop" of US diplomacy with Islamabad, stressed the "extraordinary" nature of the mission that killed Bin Laden, saying it had been kept secret for operational reasons and not due to US mistrust of Pakistan. This claim contradicted earlier comments by the CIA chief, Leon Panetta, that Pakistani intelligence (ISI) had been excluded in case someone tipped off the al-Qaida leader.

"This had to be an American operation, and it had to be as secure as humanly possible," he said. But he stopped short of alleging Pakistani complicity with Bin Laden, saying there was "no evidence at this point in time".

The deal comes amid growing anti-American anger inside Pakistan, which on Friday passed a motion condemning the US raid and calling for a complete review of the relationship with the US, including potentially cutting Nato's supply line to Afghanistan.

A senior Pakistani military official told the Guardian the raid had sparked vivid anti-American sentiment inside the armed forces, and that General Kayani had faced anger during a tour of military bases last week. There were also questions about the poor perfomance of the ISI, the official said, but rejected suggestions that agency personnel had helped Bin Laden.

Instead, he suggested, the US needed to make major concessions to rebuild the relationship including, he said, a nuclear cooperation deal similar to the one between Washington and India. But there are few signs that the US will make any concessions, with Kerry also under pressure from US senators who want to slash aid to Pakistan or cut relations entirely.
