To return to the subject of our 9:56 a.m. update, here is a new photograph of the marijuana growing just outside the walls of Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, taken on Thursday by Nevine Mabro, a journalist for Britain’s Channel 4 News, and friend of The Lede:

The official also said that the woman, Amal Ahmed Abdulfattah – whose Yemeni passport was leaked to a Pakistani newspaper this week – claimed that she had not left the room her husband was killed in on Monday for the past five years. She apparently confirmed that she was shot in the leg during the raid, as American officials have said, and added that she then passed out and so did not witness her husband being shot and killed.

Stealth Helicopter?

 

 

 

 

Brian Ross of ABC News has a report on one of the helicopters used in the raid that killed Bin Laden — the one that malfunctioned during the mission. It was blown up by the Navy Seals before they left the compound, leaving the wreckage behind; photographs of the remaining pieces of its tail section were seen on Wednesday.

 

 

According to Mr. Ross, the craft was a stealth helicopter, designed to be extremely quiet and hard to detect with radar — a piece of military equipment not seen in public before.

 

On Wired’s Danger Room blog, David Axe reports:

 

Aviation specialists are picking apart pixel-by-pixel the dozen-or-so photos of the copter that have appeared online. They’re assembling

digital mock-ups of the aircraft

and comparing them to lost stealth designs of the 1980s and ’90s. Speculation abounds, and so far no one from the government is commenting. But depending on what the copter turns out to be, it could shed new light on everything from the abilities of U.S. commandos to the relationship between the United States and Pakistan.

 

Opinions about the copter seem to fall into three basic camps. The most-cautious observers believe the wreckage is from a conventional chopper that got so badly mangled during the crash that it became unrecognizable. In the center, there are those who think the helicopter is an Army MH-60 Blackhawk tweaked to make it quieter and more stealthy. On the fringes, the true believers are talking about a brand-new, radar-evading helicopter design.

 

ABC’s video report shows small children collecting pieces of a “fabric-like” material used to coat the helicopter, presumably as part of its stealthy design. Mr. Ross reports that neighbors in Abbottabad said they did not hear the helicopter until it was directly overhead.

 

Lindsey Hilsum, a correspondent for Britain’s Channel 4 News, reported on Twitter from outside the compound on Wednesday that local children were already selling bits of the helicopter they had collected

"According to the Pakistani official, the Al Qaeda’s leader's immediate reaction to the raid was utter befuddlement shouting, 'Hey bud, what's your problem?'"
