Former US navy SEAL, who claimed to have killed Osama bin Laden, arrested in Texas

Robert O’Neill, the former US navy SEAL who claimed to have fired the shot that killed al-Qaida founder Osama bin Laden, was arrested in Frisco, Texas.
According to a Dallas Morning News report, Frisco police booked O’Neill on a Class A misdemeanor charge of assault causing bodily injury and a Class C misdemeanor charge of public intoxication. The former navy SEAL was released the same day on a $3,500 bond.
This is not O’Neill’s first brush with the law. Previously, he had been banned by Delta Air Lines for reportedly removing his face mask in violation of the Covid-19 guidelines.
Robert O’Neill wrote a memoir ‘The Operator’ and claimed credit for killing the world’s most wanted terrorist of that time. The US government has neither confirmed nor denied the account of O’Neill.
In the memoir, O’Neill talks about service as a navy SEAL from 1996 to 2012 and describes the years of grueling training, high-stakes missions.
On May 2, 2011, Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan’s Abbottabad compound during a nighttime raid by the US navy’s SEAL team. The death of Osama bin Laden was announced by then US President Barack Obama himself.
