US commando who killed Bin Laden to reveal identity

Washington: The US Navy Seal commando who fired the shots which killed Al-Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden is to reveal his identity in a television documentary next month, the network announced.


"The Man Who Killed Osama Bin Laden" will air in two segments November 11-12, with the commando recounting his role in the raid that killed Bin Laden at his Pakistani compound in 2011. The Navy SEAL "will share his story of training to be a member of America's elite fighting force and explain his involvement in Operation Neptune Spear, the mission that killed Bin Laden," the network said in a press release.


"Offering never before shared details, the presentation will include 'The Shooter's' experience in confronting Bin Laden, his description of the terrorist leader's final moments as well as what happened when he took his last breath," it said.


The program would also offer a look at a "secret" ceremony in which the commando donated the shirt he was wearing during the mission to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City, it said. The daring nighttime raid on May 2, 2011 saw a team of Navy SEALs in Blackhawk helicopters swooping on Bin Laden's hideout in Abbottabad. There were no casualties among US forces, who killed Bin Laden and four others at the compound.

The operation was ordered by President Barack Obama after the CIA traced Bin Laden's courier to the high -walled compound. Fox News Channel is owned by Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox.
