Washington
(AFP) - The US Navy Seal commando who fired the shots which killed
Al-Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden is to reveal his identity in a Fox News
television documentary next month, the network announced Wednesday.
"The
Man Who Killed Osama Bin Laden" will air in two segments November
11-12, with the commando recounting his role in the raid that killed Bin
Laden at his Pakistani compound in 2011.
The
Navy SEAL "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," the network said in a press
release.
"Offering never
before shared details, 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 program
would also offer a look at a "secret" ceremony in which the commando
donated the shirt he was wearing during the mission to the National
September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City, it said.
The
daring nighttime raid on May 2, 2011 saw a team of Navy SEALs in
Blackhawk helicopters swooping on Bin Laden's hideout in Abbottabad.
There were no casualties among US forces, who killed Bin Laden and four
others at the compound.
The operation was ordered by President Barack Obama after the CIA traced Bin Laden's courier to the high-walled compound.
