It was a fraction of a second, but the moment he saw Osama bin Laden is seared in Rob O’Neill’s mind. “Every time I close my eyes I can see it,” he says. The SEAL team fired a total of 16 shots, killing Osama bin Laden, Khalid bin Laden, Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti and al-Kuwaiti's wife, Arshad Khan, and wounding Osama bin Laden's wife Amal al-Sadah. Twenty minutes into the operation, Razor 1 took off from the roof of the main house to reposition to a landing spot outside the compound. The former Navy SEAL who says he fired the shot that killed Osama bin Laden says he doesn't care if people believe. And he knew we were there to kill him.

Updated: Saturday, April 8, 2017, 4:25 PM Ex-Navy SEAL team shooter Robert O'Neill is unwavering in his claim: He alone pumped two bullets into Osama bin Laden, killing the architect of the 9/11 attacks. This time, he’s telling the tale in a new book. In “The Operator: Firing the Shots that Killed Bin Laden,” the former Navy SEAL Team 6 shooter lays out in detail what went down that night inside the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. While controversy still swirls around O'Neill's version of the May 2, 2011, raid, much of it centers on his breaking the Special Ops code of silence. But he remains unequivocal in his colorful telling — while kicking the military hornets’ nest once again.

His book comes five years after 'No Easy Day,' fellow SEAL Mark Bissonnette’s account of the operation. He agreed to surrender the $6.8 million in proceeds from the book for his use of classified information and violation of a non-disclosure deal. In O’Neill’s version, he was trailing five or six other SEALs climbing the stairs to the compound’s second floor when when bin Laden's son Khalid appeared on the half-landing with an AK-47. A CIA analyst had informed the fighters, 'If you find Khalid, Osama's on the next floor.'

And she provided a phrase now uttered in Arabic and Urdu as the son cowered behind a bannister: 'Khalid, come here.' The confused terrorist poked his head out and shouted 'What?' He was shot in the face. Once upstairs, the men spread out to search the rooms. In the compound with bin Laden were three of his four wives and 17 children. The point man kept his weapon trained on the third floor, at one point taking a shot at a figure briefly appearing behind a curtain to the entryway. 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. The point man finally spoke: “Hey, we got to go, we got to go.”. Robert O'Neill. Alcohol 120% 2.0.1 Build 2031.
