US Navy Seals dispute over Osama killing

November 07, 2014 09:29

BBC reports: A row has arisen over which United States commando fired the shot that killed Osama Bin Laden.

A former Navy Seal Robert O'Neill, 38, has told the Washington Post in a new interview he fired the fatal shot.

This contradicts the account of Matt Bissonnette, another former Seal involved in the raid, in a 2012 book. The Al Qaeda leader was killed in a 2011 Navy Seal raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

O'Neill, who retired in 2012, had previously told his story anonymously to Esquire magazine.
