US choppers on Osama mission had crossed into Indian air space, claims book

Questions about whether the helicopters flew over the Indian air space have been raised by a popular US website Redstate, described as a leading conservative news blog. This has set off a debate in the cyber world.




The blog states that “this apparent use of Indian air space” raises questions including whether the Indian government had advance knowledge about the Abbottabad mission and whether the US had sought and was granted permission to use Indian air space.

Indian Air Force sources in New Delhi today dismissed this hypothesis and said the US helicopters had not crossed into Indian air space at all.
