A Pakistan news agency reports that the bin Laden raid on Abbottabad was aborted because of a helicopter crash which killed several passengers. Eyewitness interview:
Bashir: We were awake, not asleep, a helicopter came, some men came down from that, into that house, then that helicopter went away Reporter: How many men? Bashir: 10-12, then that helicopter took rounds of those rear hills, then he came bacÂ…k and when he came bach, two more helicopters arrived, one from the west and other from the north, there was a blast in the first helicopter and it was on fire, we immediately came out, when we reached there, the helicopter was burning, then after about 20 minutes the army and police arrived, they pushed us back, now we are asking that if oama was here then who took him to america because all those men that came in the helicopter died in the blast, now if Osama was in that helicopter he must have died and got burnt in that helicopter too, then how they took him? this is a question of serious concern. America claims they they killed him and picked him up. How they picked him up? This is what we are thinking Reporter: Was there only one helicopter? Bashir? Yes the other that came flew away to Mansehra, there was only one that landed the men and came back to pick them but as he was picking them up, it blew away and caught fire. Reporter: Then were in it when it blew? Bashir: Yes They were. Reporter : How you know? Bashir: We saw it with our own eyes Reporter: You saw dead man? Bashir: Yes, dead men, Reporter: How many? Bashir: I couldnt count them because then the compound was on fire. The gate was open, we went in, the army and police hadnt arrived then, there were some people but they werent stopping them. The whole neighborhood has seen that but they are silent now. Bashir: We saw the helicopter burning, we saw the dead bodies, then everything was removed and now there is nothing Reporter: How many dead bodies you saw? Bashir: We couldn't count them because they were blown into pieces. http://www.shoah.org.uk/2011/05/17/unconfirmed-bin-laden-mission-aborted-american-deaths-from-helicopter-crash/
