LONDON: The former US Navy SEAL who claimed shooting Osama Bin Laden has allegedly been identified, UK’s Daily Mail reported Thursday. Rob O’Neill, 38, who has completed more than 400 missions as a Navy SEAL, was “exclusively” identified by the daily.

He is due to have a highly anticipated interview with Fox News called “The Man Who Killed Osama Bin Laden.” in which “never before shared details” will be revealed.

In May 2011, O’Neill, who was a member of the SEAL Team 6, supposedly participated to the raid that killed Bin Laden in Abbottabad.

Even though he had already been interviewed about the raid, the former SEAL remained discreet about his identity.  His decision to speak out came as he decided to retire after 16 years of service, said Al Arabiya.
