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.
