Navy SEAL Robert O'Neill shared behind-the-scenes details of Operation Neptune Spear, the raid that led to the death of Osama bin Laden, who had been referred to as a "ghost" following the 9/11 attacks. O'Neill explained how the operation was shrouded in secrecy, revealing that he only learned about the mission just a few weeks prior to its execution. The operation's target was a three-story compound in Pakistan, identified through observations of an elusive figure dubbed "the pacer," thought to be bin Laden. Despite the strict secrecy surrounding the mission, involving 23 Navy SEALs, O'Neill's suspicions about the target grew following high-level briefings that indicated the mission's critical nature. The mission, which famously involved no Air Force assistance, concluded with O'Neill standing over bin Laden's body, confirming the success of the high-stakes raid.
