According to a close neighbor who watched the alleged US raid on Osama Bin Laden’s compound from his rooftop, the operation was almost immediately aborted because of a helicopter crash that killed several people, eyewitness testimony that completely contradicts the official narrative put out by the White House.
Mohammad Bashir lives a stone’s throw away from the purported Bin Laden compound that was raided on May 1. In an astounding interview with Pakistani news channel Samaa TV, Bashir describes how he watched men land in the helicopter and enter the compound. However, in contrast to the official story, Bashir then claims the helicopter exploded and killed the men as they were re-entering the chopper to leave.
Bashir said that the men who landed in the helicopter spoke Pashto, an Iranian language spoken in Afghanistan and Pakistan
US officials admitted that a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter that was involved in the raid did crash into the walls of the compound, and wreckage of the chopper was shown. However, authorities denied that there were any casualties.
In a BBC News report, Orla Guerin interviewed dozens of people who were adamant that Bin Laden did not live in the compound, with none of them ever witnessing him or hearing rumors that he was there in the five years that Obama claimed Bin Laden was a resident in the town.
“It’s all a fake, nothing happened,” said a newspaper seller who has been working in the town for 50 years.
I find this account reasonable and more likely to be truthful than what US or Pakistani Govt. says.
This man says his cousin who used to help for gardening in the house is his cousin and is under house arrest by security agencies and no body has been able to talk to him.
One helicopter came first from which 10-12 people landed into the alleged house of OBL. This helicopter did not land. Instead it kept hovering the area, Some of the people who landed came out to the nearby houses and threatened people to keep doors closed and said they will be shot if any one came out. They were talking the local Pushto language. This man was on the roof and witnessing the event disclosing in front of his eyes. During this time he was lying on the roof and looking towards this compound.
A few minutes later 2 more Choppers came from different directions one from north and one from west. The first chopper which was hovering came down to land in the compound which is very bid. Immediately there was a blast in the chopper and people rushed to the scene. There were nearly 100-200 people who went to this scene and watched all this.
On the scene there were pieces of chopper and dead bodies. The other two choppers left immediately and none of them ever landed so there was no chopper which landed successfully to take anything or any person away. They even did not pick their own people which they dropped earlier. The chopper which came from the north went south ward and one from the west went to the north.
Some of the parts of chopper even landed on his rooftop. Amy personnel arrived after this blast and pushed the people out of the scene.
I already knew it was a botched raid and that Damage Control was really doing the news. You can’t have a helicopter crash and no one gets injured…..too much horsepower not to!
I agree, the old man watching the bin laden video’s can not be bin laden, his ears don’t match ! His stature didn’t match either.
I’m convinced Bin Laden died years ago, but the higher ups is trying to pin the tail on the donkey over 9-11…….”probably while they’re eating their pancake theory for breakfast !”
I read that New Yorker article, and wondered who the hell he interviewed to get all that detail. It sounded like some nice heroic fiction. It was my understanding NONE of those guys were made available to the press.
I even quoted and linked to that article earlier this week. What made me suspicious was that he used the Marine’s names in the article, which I suspect is ver boten. But with editors these days, who knows?
I was especially chuckling at the end of the article that mentions *Cicero* the specially trained dog, and how they kept his muzzle on, while Obama went to pet him, during the meeting with the Seals.
We grieve for the families of these heroes.
