THE Navy SEAL who shot dead Osama bin Laden has spoken for the first time about killing the world’s most wanted terrorist.
The elite special forces soldier described how he put three bullets in the terror leader’s forehead and watched him take his last breath.
“He was dead. Not moving. His tongue was out. I watched him take his last breaths, just a reflex breath,” he said.
“And I remember as I watched him breathe out the last part of air, I thought: 'Is this the best thing I’ve ever done, or the worst thing I’ve ever done?’
“In that second, I shot him, two times in the forehead. Bap! Bap! The second time as he’s going down. He crumpled onto the floor in front of his bed and I hit him again, Bap! Same place.”

The father-of-two Navy SEAL, who has not been identified, was part of the Team Six tasked with storming bin Laden’s hideaway in Abbottabad, Pakistan in May 2011.
After moving through the building the SEAL said he spotted bin Laden through his night vision goggles.
The terror leader, who masterminded the 9/11 attacks, could make out noises but not see in the darkness.

Fearing he might be wearing a vest packed with explosives, the SEAL fired several shots. He also said he feared one of bin Laden’s wives who was in the bedroom might also try and blow them up.
In an interview with Esquire magazine, he added: “And he’s moving forward. I don’t know if she’s got a vest and she’s being pushed to martyr them both.
“He’s got a gun within reach. He’s a threat. I need to get a head shot so he won’t have a chance to clack himself off [blow himself up].”
Describing the scene as bin Laden lay on the floor after the shooting, he said: “His forehead was gruesome. It was split open in the shape of a V. I could see his brains spilling out over his face.
“The American public doesn’t want to know what that looks like."

The SEAL told how after the shooting the al-Qaeda leader’s wife Amal launched herself at him screaming.
He used plastic zip ties to bind her to a bedpost before realising bin Laden’s youngest son had witnessed his father being shot.
“He was standing there on the other side of the bed. I didn’t want to hurt him, because I’m not a savage.
“There was a lot of screaming, he was crying, just in shock. I didn’t like that he was scared.
"I picked him up and put him next to his mother.”
The US soldier revealed that his marriage had broken down as a result of the stress from the raid and claimed he had been neglected by the US Government since leaving the military.
The hunt for bin Laden is told in the film Zero Dark Thirty which is tipped for Oscar success later this month.
