Meet the Man who killed Osama bin Laden (Photos)

In action: A rare picture of O'Neill as a serviceman shows him in uniform in Liberia, where the Navy was involved in operation to stabilize the war-torn country

The Navy SEAL who shot Osama bin Laden dead in the special force’s most famous operation can be named today.

The 38-year-old shot the 9/11 mastermind three times in the head during a raid on his secret lair in Pakistan on May 2, 2011.

Usually such information would be kept secret but Rob O’Neill has chosen to waive his right to anonymity to give an interview to Fox television later this month.

O’Neill is one of the most decorated SEALs ever, having been honoured 52 times and completing more than 400 missions.

He has even been portrayed on film in Hollywood movies Zero Dark Thirty, Captain Phillips and Lone Survivor.

In an exclusive interview Rob’s father, Tom O’Neill, tells MailOnline, ‘People are asking if we are worried that ISIS will come and get us because Rob is going public. I say I’ll paint a big target on my front door and say come and get us.’

Success: O'Neill has had a series of speaking engagements, all of them about applying the lessons of his time in the SEALs to business decision making with tops including: 'Preparation comes from planning, repetition and communication'

Lair: Bin Laden in his hide-out before SEAL Team Six were sent in to kill him. The al Qaeda leader was discovered by years of careful CIA work and three helicopters were scrambled to deploy the servicemen

    Tiene cara de caballo (con dispensa del caballo) dientes de burro viejo, es repulsivo y ni Dios lo querrá en su reino. No es para felicitarse.
