A Former Navy SEAL Robert O'Neill revealed that he was the one who fatally shot Osama bin Laden in 2011 according to Washington Post. He has been in the Seal for 15 years but according to him, was his toughest
mission.
He said "I didn't think I would survive," he told the Post.
He said it was clear that Bin Laden had been killed and not merely injured from his shot when he fell to the floor with a split skull. Before he was shot, bin Laden "had his hands on a woman's shoulders pushing her ahead," O'Neill said. His sudden public disclosure breaks the Military ethics
The Navy SEAL had previously revealed details of the mission to
Esquire magazine but he distanced himself from the story. But when his identity was linked to the story on a military blog earlier this week without his consent, he came out with the revelations. O'Neill also said his secret was known by members of Congress and some news organizations.
He also told the Post that he received a positive response from the families of 9/11 victims when he identified himself as bin Laden's killer to them.
"The families told me it helped bring them some closure," he said.
