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

B Raman, a noted security expert who retired as a senior officer of India's external intelligence agency RAW, has doubted whether the helicopters would have been flown into Pakistan via India.




He has written that in planning operations of this nature involving air and missile action, the US is always worried that if the Pakistanis detect the action, they may misinterpret that the action had been originated by India and this could lead to a war between the two nuclear powers.  

Raman has contended that Owen's account will neither be proved correct or disproved till the US declassifies the details of the operation.
