OSAMA BIN LADEN KILLED BY
NAVY SEAL TEAM SIX
Team Six Members Later Ambushed in Afghanistan in Suspected Revenge Killing After Biden Discloses Identity
On this day in 2011, Osama bin Laden, was killed by U.S. forces during a daring raid on his home in Abbottabad, Pakistan. At a press conference days after, Vice President Biden broke from protocol and identified the U.S. forces as part of Navy SEAL Team Six. Three months later, 30 Team Six members, including some who had participated in the bin Laden raid, and other special forces were ambushed and killed in Afghanistan in what many believe was a revenge killing abetted by disloyal Afghans with insider knowledge regarding Team Six’s presence and activities. The ambush remains the worst loss of Americans in a single incident during the Afghan campaign.
