Former US Navy SEAL Robert O'Neill recounted the details of the operation that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan, 15 years ago, emphasizing that the team's primary motivation was to avenge the September 11, 2001 attacks. In a press interview, O'Neill explained that the mission aimed to avenge the victims, noting that the special forces operatives were not seeking personal gain, but rather to eliminate the al-Qaeda threat. He stated that the team received initial notification of the mission three weeks prior, without disclosing the target.
