It was still dark on the early morning of May 2, 2011, when two dozen Navy SEALs boarded two Black Hawk helicopters and headed for the border of Pakistan. Working for legal reasons under the command of the CIA, and with the concentrated force of the entire Department of Defense, they scaled 7-foot walls, they breached the fortified compound, and they started a 7-minute firefight.

Forty minutes later, the Seals radioed “Geronimo-E KIA.” After a decade of searching, Osama Bin Laden was finally dead.
