The navy SEAL who fired the shot that killed Osama Bin Laden is a highly decorated veteran of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. who agonised for months over whether to publicly reveal his role in one of the most storied commando operation in the history of US. Robert O' Neil38, a Montana native, was near the head of the column of US soldiers that burst out into Bin Laden's hide out on May 02, 2011. In a recent interview he confirmed to the Washington Post that he fired the fatal shot that struck in the forehead of Ben Laden. At the time of the raid O'Neil had served nearly 15 years as a SEAL, eventually, earning a spot in the elite unit known as SEAL TEAM 6.
