Inside SEAL Team Six(99)

By:Don Mann


Since December of 2001, when the al-Qaeda leader was almost killed by U.S. bombs in the mountains of Tora Bora, Afghanistan, bin Laden had disappeared from sight. By 2011, many Americans believed that he was either dead or so deeply hidden that he would never be found.

But after years of painstaking detective work carried out by the NSA, the CIA, and U.S. military intelligence, the United States eventually pinpointed the location of bin Laden’s longtime trusted courier Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti. CIA agents and satellite surveillance cameras tracked al-Kuwaiti’s white SUV to a large concrete compound in the mountain resort of Abbottabad, which is an hour’s drive north from the capital city of Islamabad. ■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​ named the Pacer, who was living in the compound surrounded by wives and children, was Osama bin Laden.

On March 29, President Obama met with his national security advisers in the White House Situation Room to review a plan to attack the compound with helicopter-borne commandos. Some military advisers favored destroying the compound with smart bombs. But President Obama vetoed that option because of the extensive collateral damage a bombing raid would likely inflict on the surrounding area.
