Robert O’Neill, Former SEAL Claimed He Shot Osama Bin Laden

Recently, Fox News took an exclusive interview of Robert O’Neill, former Navy SEAL who claimed he shot Osama Bin Laden. He explained how he looked into the Al Qaeda leader eyes before he killed him.

Former Navy SEAL who has come forward openly to discuss the May 2011 raid on bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, stated he was most likely the last person bin Laden saw.

“He was standing 2 feet in front of me, hand on his wife, the face I have seen 1000’s times. I thought, ‘We got him, we just ended the war.'” O’Neill stated.

“Osama Bin Laden looked into my eyes before I shot him dead,” O’Neill said. I was the very first person in the SEAL team to go in bin Laden’s bedroom on the raid’s night. Bin Laden apparently attempted to defend himself with his youngest wife before he was shot.

About ten years-long manhunt for the man who planned the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C has ended. But I am still trying to puzzle out whether it was the best thing I ever did or the worst one,” O’Neill added.

Though, O’Neill is bearing some long term consequences after the raid, which he told to Esquire (that didn’t name him) last year. He got separated from his wife and now struggling to pay bills.

In addition, some disputes regarding who actually fired the shot that killed Osama Bin Laden were roaming around. “O’Neill did not fire the fatal shot,” claimed by an anonymous source who was close to another member of the SEAL team that carried out the raid.

“Two leaders of US Naval Special Warfare Command sent a letter to their team members on 31st Oct, two days after the Fox interview was announced, in which they attacked any SEAL who would abuse their “ethos” and talk about a mission in public, SOFREP, a website that covers national security and US special operations forces,” revealed.

Robert O’Neill a former US Navy SEAL backs off claims of being Bin Laden’s Shooter

Navy SEALs are expected to maintain a tight cloak of secrecy about different operations carried out around the world. However the killing of Al Qaeda founder Osama Bin Laden in a night raid, deep in Pakistan is creating a lot of unwanted media hype. The public debate on who fired the lethal shot which killed Osama Bin Laden is being fed by a member of the crack team Robert O’Neill, a former SEAL personal.

Robert O’Neill has been identified in several news accounts as the “shooter” who fired the fatal shot at Bin Laden at close range. However, Robert O’Neill now backs off claim that he was Osama Bin Laden’s killer. Robert O’Neill say’s that it is not important who fired the first shot. Rather it was team effort which finally managed to bring to justice the dreaded head of Al Qaeda.

Mr. O’Neill said in an audio interview, “The most important thing that I’ve learned in the last two years is to me it doesn’t matter anymore if I am ‘The Shooter.’ The team got him.”

Navy SEALS are almost invisible and shun any type of media exposure as they conduct their shadowy forays around the world. They are not supposed to talk about their exploits for publicity or monetary considerations.

O’Neil’s action forced the man who runs the United States Naval Special Warfare Command to remind all present and former seals of the organization’s dictum- “I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions.”

Rear Adm. Brian Losey and Force Master Chief Michael Magaraci wrote, “Violators of our Ethos are neither teammates in good standing, nor Teammates who represent Naval Special Warfare. We do not abide willful or selfish disregard for our core values in return for public notoriety and financial gain, which only diminishes otherwise honorable service, courage and sacrifice.”
