The former Navy SEAL who identified himself as the shooter who killed Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden on May 2, 2011 during Operation Neptune Spear has reportedly said that the terror head "died afraid."

Robert O'Neill revealed that Laden had identified himself as "the shooter to the families of 9/11 victims" before being shot and knew that they were there to kill him, reported the CNN. "And that's a closure," he said.

O'Neill was one of the 23 SEALs who were sent to kill the terror chief within his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. They shot and killed bin Laden's two bodyguards, one of his sons and the wife of one of the bodyguards. They also wounded two other women during the operation.
