Taking steps to ensure that its frontline stealth technology does not pass onto hostile hands, the US has drawn an assurance from Pakistan to return the tail of one of the helicopters that crashed while landing Navy SEALs in the mission to kill Osama bin Laden on May 2.

Pakistan has agreed to return the tail of the modified variant of the Sikrosky H-60 Blackhawk helicopter, Senator John Kerry, now on a visit to Pakistan, was quoted as saying by the New York Times.

The Navy SEALs 6 team disabled the stealth chopper during the raid after it developed faults in an apparent bid to ensure that frontline technology did not fall into non-US hands, US media reports said.

The secret choppers have been kept under wraps by Pentagon and their use for the key mission suggests that the American military planners did not want to take any chances in the high-risk raid.

While the Pak assured US that they would return the Tail of the Chopper to US, the rest of the body-parts, appear, to have, already, reached to another friendly-nation of it.
