Pakistan 'gave China access to bin Laden raid helicopter'

Pakistan reportedly gave China access to the American "stealth" helicopter that crashed during the raid which led to the death of Osama bin Laden.

The CIA had explicitly requested that technology from the helicopter not be shared but Chinese military officials were said to have been allowed to take photographs of it and to obtain samples of its special "skin" that allowed it to evade radar.
