2011. Murder of Osama Bin Laden

Two years ago, on May 2, 2011, the head of Al-Qaeda was killed by the fighters of the USAL Navy unit in a villa in the city of Abbottabad 50 km from Islamabad. The special forces acting without notifying the Pakistani authorities had no task to take him alive.

President Barack Obama himself stated the success of the operation: “A little more than a week ago, I decided that we have enough intelligence, and I agreed to conduct the operation. Under my leadership, an operation was carried out near Islamabad in Pakistan, during which the American military showed incredible courage, eliminated Ben Laden and picked up his body. ”

In addition to Osama, his son, two couriers and a woman servant were killed. Two wives of Ben Laden, four sons and four closest associates were arrested. The body of the leader of the terrorists was drowned in the Arabian Sea.
