The man that pulled the trigger that finally brought Osama Bin Laden
down, Robert O’Neill has revealed in a new interview Bin Laden died with
fear written all over his face and that he he doesn’t care if people
believed he was the one that took the shot or shot or not. Read more on CNN:
“The most important thing
that I’ve learned in the last two years is to me it doesn’t matter
anymore if I am ‘The Shooter.’ The team got him,” Robert O’Neill said in
an audio interview with freelance journalist Alex Quade, a former CNN
correspondent, that aired Friday on CNN’s “AC360.”
“Regardless of the negativity that comes with it, I don’t give a f***. We got him.”
“AC360″ obtained the audio interview from Quade, who conducted a series of interviews with O’Neill over the past 18 months.
The killing of bin Laden
will go down in history, O’Neill said. “But I don’t care if I’m ‘The
Shooter,’ and there are people who think I’m not. So whatever.”
The audio interview follows an interview published this week in The Washington Post, in which O’Neill publicly identified himself as the SEAL who killed the leader of al Qaeda in 2011.
The 38-year-old O’Neill
had previously revealed details of the mission to Esquire magazine. But
he was hesitant to attach his name to the account until his identity was
linked to the story on a military blog earlier this week without his
consent.
