The Capturing Of Osama Bin Laden

It was 04:00 when the stealth choppers rolled in on the compound that Osama was hiding in. I was checking my gun to see if everything was in order. I checked my mags and the breaching charges. We were told beforehand that the doors may be blocked.

There were no windows in this chopper, infact, it was not fully safe checked or tested.

This was a prototype stealth chopper that could apparently go under the radar so we were not exactly happy about being in an untested helicopter.

We arrived in the village of Abbottabad and would be landing in two minutes according to the pilots. We had been planning this attack for months now and training. We were chosen for this job because this is what we specialise in as Seals. We landed just outside the ten foot walls and the other helicopter landed on the courtyard.

We positioned ourselves at the back gate to breach with our explosives. The others were doing the same but to the front door. We had our plan; blow the gate and move in to storm the house. The first charge blew. BANG!  We went to the door of the house with the other squad. We blew the second charge and breached in. I was 9th in line. Me and the three guys behind me walked with the other eight in front while they did crowd control.

Once we got to the stairs me and the other 3 went up. Me and my partner went to the top floor (third floor). The other two searched through the 2nd floor and found Osama’s wife and one of his children. But not only that they found his computer room and a lot of hard drives, documents, and other files. Meanwhile, my partner and I went to the top floor; it was a very small and compact storey. We had everyone else search through the building so we figured that he was here. We were told that if we ran into this situation we should call him in an accent that he would usually be called with.

“ Osama?... Osama?....Osama?“

Osama appeared from the bedroom. Me and my partner shot him several times until he fell to the ground. We yelled out, “We got him,” in relief.

Someone brought up a body bag and we carefully placed Osama in it. Straight after we searched through the computer room and files, we went through cabinets and found hard drives, documents and other files. Once we were finished with the search, we went outside to the helicopters and put the body bag in the middle of the chopper. We hopped in and spread throughout the choppers; one seal team in each and flew back the military base twenty one kilometers away. While we were going back all of us felt relieved that it was over. The search was over. I had done my part in the capturing of Osama Bin Laden.
