The helicopter hiccup was a heart-stopping moment for president Barack Obama, who was monitoring it all from the White House situation room, surrounded by his war cabinet.

Mr Brennan says US officials were able to monitor the operation in real time, but would not confirm how.

"It was probably one of the most anxiety-filled periods of time I think in the lives of the people who were assembled here yesterday. The minutes passed like days, a lot of people holding their breath," he said.

"There was a fair degree of silence as it progressed as we would get the updates. The minutes passed like days, and the president was very concerned about the security of our personnel.
