　　U.S. officials say Pakistan likely gave China access to the wreckage of a
stealth American helicopter that crashed during the raid that killed Osama bin
Laden.The New York Times and Financial Times newspapers quoted unnamed U.S.
officials who said Pakistan's intelligence service is believed to have allowed
Chinese engineers to photograph and even walk away with samples of the U.S.
helicopter, which was equipped with special technology designed to allow the
aircraft to elude radar.U.S. forces involved in the May 2 raid attempted to
destroy the helicopter after it crashed into a wall of the al-Qaida leader's
compound in Abbottabad, but the tail section remained largely intact.Pakistan
later returned the wreckage of the aircraft and it was brought back to the
United States.
        　　Pakistani officials have rejected media reports that China was allowed to
see the downed helicopter. The New York Times reported that U.S. officials
directly confronted Pakistani officials about whether foreign governments had
been given access to the wreckage and Pakistan denied the accusations.Relations
between the United States and Pakistan have been at a low point since the covert
operation by U.S. special forces that killed bin Laden. Pakistan sharply
criticized the U.S. raid as a violation of its sovereignty.
