I’m just quoting media sources. I’ll have to redo my timeline with links. They are the ones claiming it was helicopters used for the attack, transport to Afghanistan, and then transport to Navy ship.
40 minutes of fighting, and then two fatal shots
Pakistani officials agreed on Monday that they knew nothing.
"Not a thing," said an official with the ISI spy agency.
But there are signs that statement may be untrue: some reports on the strike, sourced in Washington, suggest the Seals took off from Ghazi airforce base at nearby Tarbela Dam. If true, that suggests a convenient contrivance so that Pakistan could avoid ownership of an operation certain to rankle with the notoriously anti-American public.
I couldn't find the Ghazi Air Force base, but other military facilities in the area are closer to Osama's complex than the dam.
