Commando who Killed Bin Laden to Reveal Identity

Local Editor

The US Navy SEAL commando who fired the shots that killed al-Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden is to reveal his identity in a Fox News television documentary in November, the network said.

Fox News said in a press release on Wednesday that the commando "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."

It will show "never before shared details" and "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 Man Who Killed Osama Bin Laden" will air in the US in two segments on November 11 and 12, with the commando recounting his role in the raid that killed Bin Laden at a Pakistani compound in 2011.

The night-time raid on May 2, 2011, saw a team of Navy SEALs in Blackhawk helicopters swooping on Bin Laden's hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

The operation was ordered by US President Barack Obama after the CIA traced Bin Laden's courier to the compound.
