The revelation of an ex-Navy SEAL that Osama bin Laden’s head was so severely destroyed by his gunfire that it had to be pressed back together for identification should have come up with more details about the Al-Qaeda chief.
Ex-Navy SEAL team shooter Robert O’Neill said he ‘alone’ pumped three bullets into Osama, killing him instantly. “In ‘The Operator: Firing the Shots that Killed Bin Laden” the former Navy SEAL Team 6 shooter lays out the details of what went down that night inside the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, the New York Daily News reported.
O’Neill, in his book, makes the gruesome claim that Osama’s head was so severely destroyed by his gunfire that it had to be pressed back together for identification photographs.
In O’Neill’s version, he was trailing five or six other SEALs climbing the stairs to the compound’s second floor when Osama’s son Khalid appeared on the half-landing with an AK-47. The agents were able to lure Khalid from where he was hiding behind a banister by calling to him in Arabic, saying: ‘Khalid, come here.’
He shouted in response: ‘What?’ and emerged from his hiding spot, and was immediately shot in the face, the report said. Once upstairs, the men spread out to search the rooms. In the compound with Osama were three of his four wives and 17 children.
O’Neill kept his hand on the point man’s shoulder. The two were alone on the stairway, convinced that whoever was on the third floor was strapping on a suicide vest for an explosive last stand, PTI reported.
O’Neill recounts that finally he decided to take action. He squeezed the point man’s shoulder, the signal to charge and then burst past the curtain. The point man tackled two screaming women to the floor.
Bin Laden stood near the bed, his hands on the shoulders of the woman in front of him. She was later identified as Amal, the youngest of his four wives, the report said.
“In less than a second, I aimed above the woman’s right shoulder and pulled the trigger twice,” O’Neill writes. “Bin Laden’s head split open, and he dropped. I put another bullet in his head. Insurance,” he writes. According to O’Neill, the other members of the team rushed into the room only after he placed a 2-year-old boy found covering in a corner alongside Osama’s widow on the bed.
But mystery shrouds the other death details of Laden. If Neill could tell about Laden’s head what stops him to reveal the other details like why his body was immediately thrown in the sea. Why the Navy SEAL did not arrest Khalid and preferred to kill him. Perhaps the United States is waiting some ‘right time’ to reveal more truth about this episode. – Pak Destiny
If u claim to kill osama then why didnt showed body? Might be world didnt know that this guy worked for CIA for a long time. And was a close ally for USA. ohh White people! Still trying to fool rest of world. #RIP
According to Edward Snowden,,,, he was never killed & he is with CIA.
Lol Americans always fool the world 😂 They NEVER killed him. Snowden also mentioned that.
Wat a theory americans, if u claim to kill him why did u throw his body in the sea before showing it to us
U.S can make make any one a terrorist. They just need a reason to destroy their enemy countries
Seriously, Did you really kill BinLaden? Or is he living on an island. Because you have no body. And the burial at sea seems like a cover story and total bullshit!
