Pakistan says will not share US helicopter wreckage

Pakistan said Wednesday it would not share the wreckage of a US helicopter used in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden with China, after speculation that the aircraft contained secret technology.

“Pakistan is not going to share any technology, and I don’t think our friends in China have shown any interest in doing so,” Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States Husain Haqqani told CNN.

Photographs of the wrecked helicopter, which malfunctioned during the raid and was deliberately blown up, fueled speculation among experts and enthusiasts that new features had been added to it to reduce noise or foil radar detection.

Some even postulated that the helicopter, which officials say was a Blackhawk, was actually an entirely new kind of “stealth” aircraft, with technology that could fall into the hands of Pakistan’s ally China.

Defense analysts, however, have said that although the wrecked aircraft appears to be a modified Blackhawk, the technology in question is not shrouded in secrecy and Pakistan and China would gain little from the remains.

Tensions between the United States and its ally Pakistan have run high since bin Laden, the mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks and the world’s most wanted man, was found living in a garrison town near Islamabad.

Haqqani insisted, however, that the two countries were still “in close contact” and were trying to “get to the bottom of things.” “The United States and Pakistan, at the government-to-government level, the intelligence-to-intelligence level and military-to-military level, are in close contact,” he told CNN.

“We are not in the business of denial or contradiction right now. We are trying to get to the bottom of things, understand the intelligence and work together,” he added.

“At the same time, we continue to be concerned about unilateral actions and would prefer if the United States works with Pakistan instead of making Pakistan look like the bad guy.”

obviously they will tell the world that they will not share technology but wat happens behind the scenes is totally different. china and pak wd be fool not to examine that wreckage. china wouldnt miss this opportunity. china might not show any inclination openly to examine wreckage but be sure chinese experts will do the examination.

USA must have had Husain Haqqani by his ears

Pakistan is betraying china by doing this and showing loyalty to a foe.

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

Be mindful that this is Hussain Haqqani speaking, Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States. Obviously he'll have nice things to say to the Americans here, it's part of his job.

How far is the crash site from PAC, Kamra where there are Chinese aerospace engineers? How long does it take to get there? I am sure too there are Chinese military personnel at the academy 2km from the crash site.

The Chinese will likely need samples of materials more than anything else and as we discuss this, I bet they already have obtained that … … in exchange for a squadron of J-10Bs.

Hussain Haqqani Knows nothing.. he is not even a Pakistani national and never supported Pakistan's case in US. We will surely say what he has said but we will do what we got to do. And guess what.. we are in need of the tech which US used upon us and so are our friends in China. A friend in need is a friend indeed.. they helped when we needed and now its time to return the little favour.

Major parts of electronics and gadgetry are surly destroyed so US don't need to feel panic.

The ambassador will be told what he needs to know and allow him to do his job properly = DIPLOMACY!! The ambassador will be told and promised by his government that not parts will go to China. THAT IS ALL HE NEEDS TO KNOW and nothing more.

I am 100% damn sure that he has no clue what is going on, & is just giving his personal opinion. Hussain Haqqani is definitely out of the loop here, this is very high level information he doesn't have access to. So he will say things the Americans want to hear, to save his job.
