1. I imagine so. They mentioned a helicopter crashed in the area

and that it was Pakistani.

What it was doing there will not be clarified for some time, I fear.

2. Sounds like it

"No American lives lost" said Obama. So who was in the chopper?

4. The above poster said it a Pakistani helicopter

Typed that in Google new and a couple articles note that.

The article I posted says it was from 3 hours ago (the time stamp on Google News).

The part that stood out to me was the part about this being "near the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA)."

9. Thanks for the link. I'm curious whether the military academy

named is one of many or a major one - like West Point.

Have you seen anything on that?

Interesting place to locate yourself for someone in hiding from the world.
