An anonymous reader writes: During the raid, one of two Blackhawk helicopters — believed to use advanced stealth technology — crashed, forcing U.S. commandos to abandon it. The Financial Times reported on Sunday that Pakistani authorities gave China access to the wreckage, despite CIA requests to Islamabad to keep the wreckage under wraps.
China's Ministry of Defense denied this in a one-sentence statement, Beijing's first public response to the report.
"This report is totally unfounded and extremely absurd," said the statement on the ministry's website. (www.mod.gov.cn)
