The Mail Online has unveiled the Navy SEAL who shot Osama bin Laden dead in the US special force’s most famous operation, the raid on a house on Abbottobad, in Pakistan, on 2 May 2011.

He is Rob O’Neill, a highly-decorated 38 year old, who quit after 16 years service. He is scheduled to make an appearance on Fox News later this month, reported Mail Online.

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.’
