Shortly after eleven o’clock on the night of May 1st, two MH-60 Black Hawk helicopters lifted off from Jalalabad Air Field, in eastern Afghanistan, and embarked on a covert mission into Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden. Inside the aircraft were twenty-three Navy SEALs from Team Six, which is officially known as the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, or DEVGRU.
Probably the most comprehensive look at the raid on Abbottabad. And contrary to the spin the White House and others tried to put on it, the SEALs didn't seem terribly interested in taking him alive. Good call.
