On May 2, 2011, at one o'clock in the morning Pakistan Standard Time, in abbottabad Bilal, on a moonless night, two Black Hawk helicopters evaded the Pakistani military's radar surveillance network by flying close to the ground, using hilly cover and compound tracking technology.
After more than 90 minutes of sailing, we arrived near a three-story luxury building at the end of a narrow dirt road in the city, where the plane was loaded with trained SEAL members.
They received information that Osama bin Laden, the leader of the terrorist group Al Qaeda, and his family were hiding there.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > Osama bin Laden</h1>
The crisis maker, who once sent the world into a state of panic, set a series of appalling precedents that had never been done before.
The 9/11 incident – never had a hijacker hold a plane hostage, not demanding ransom or privileges, but announcing a terrorist attack in a suicide swoop – suicide attacks have been nearly extinct since the disappearance of anti-human weapons of war such as kamikaze and the sakura bomb...
But the collapse of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center in Manhattan is a fact, as is the fact that airliners hit the Pentagon. On September 11, 2001, when the financial symbols of New York melted in the fire, the American dream seemed shattered... A strong America does not seem invincible.
Global airport security measures have been strengthened as a result of these incidents, and people have been frightened, fearful of Al Qaeda and bin Laden, but terrorist attacks have not decreased, and every time al-Qaida people have claimed responsibility for this incident.
Behind him are bin Laden's figures – waging jihad, attacking military bases around the United States, detonating the U.S. embassies in East Africa... This crazy, fanatical extremist religious activist clings to his faith and is the spiritual leader of the terrorists.
Agence France-Presse has a different view of bin Laden's actions – "Bin Laden clearly has the support of many Arabs and his al-Qaida organization is expanding day by day, and the United States must review its policy toward the Middle East and Islam to avoid such terrorism." Sharply and ironically, the blame is attributed to the United States, which is stirring up waters in the Middle East.
But the U.S. government did fear os-jain bin Laden's actions and used them to wage repeated acts of war:
In February 1994, a group of Libyan troops went to attack bin Laden's residence in the Sudanese Republic. The CIA's subsequent investigation reports alleged that they had been hired by Saudi Arabia to carry out the attack.
But Saudi Arabia then accused the CIA of lying because bin Laden's appearance had seriously affected U.S. interests in Sudan. The two sides quarreled endlessly.
There are many similar situations — August 20, 1998: Under the authority of then-U.S. President Bill Clinton, the U.S. military launched "operation infinity."
The U.S. Navy fired 66 cruise missiles from the Red Sea during the operation to attack an al-Qaida training base in Khost, Afghanistan, where it was suspected that os-laden might also be in command. According to the post-incident report, about 30 people were killed in the attack.
The Afghan government in power, the Taliban government, strongly condemned the U.S. strike, and osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaida who is still alive, also condemned the U.S. military operation with great ridicule. Obviously, the purpose of the US military's actions is not simple, and even has an extremely heavy hegemonic color.
Immediately after the September 11 attacks, the U.S. military launched a war in Afghanistan, which was tragic, but with little success, bringing only years of artillery fire to the local population.
The U.S. government's statement is that "terrorists led by os-jain Bin Laden are not hostile to Islam and its followers, but the anti-terrorist operation will never end."
Bin Laden vanished like a human evaporation, CIA satellites operating around the globe, telephone monitors linked to every possible corner, yet no one could find him at all, he was responsible for every incident, but never mixed with any terrorist attack, almost like a real pagan god, which made terrorists worship him as a god.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="20" >tracked and disappeared</h1>
However, he is not completely untraceable.
Since Operation Infinite Reach, bin Laden has tried to conceal his whereabouts, mainly by using messengers to contact senior al-Qaida commanders or guerrilla forces. This primitive and ancient method of communication could not be traced, and he even banned his family from using modern devices such as televisions, computers, the Internet and air conditioners, claiming that "these devices are extremely harmful to people."
This allowed him to successfully dodge many raids.
But when the CIA learned of this, the format changed — CIA intelligence officers kept trying to source information from inside the black jail and the Guantanamo Bay detention center, trying to find the messengers he used and the people associated with them, which was almost a needle in a haystack.
However, as the investigation progresses, a name surfaces and people call him, Ahmed Quweti, a common but awkward Arabic name, and the CIA members do not miss a single clue and dig deeper...
In 2007, U.S. officials finally identified the messenger's true name, Mr. Cuweetti. However, the information provided by another prisoner, Karic Ivan, has been unable to determine whether it is true or false, perhaps just nonsense, and it is still unproven to this day.
In 2009, intelligence officials had identified the messenger's address. By 2010, Cuvitti was on a phone call with another al-Qaida suspect who had been tapped, prompting the C.I.A. paramilitary agents to decide to start tracking.
Later, during a follow-up in August 2010, bin Laden was found in abbottabad's hideout, and his tall and thin body features made him instantly recognizable. CIA agents immediately targeted the manor house in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
The CIA made extensive use of satellite monitoring photographs and intelligence to try to determine whether there were other high-value targets hiding in the building in Abbottabad besides Bin Laden's messenger.
Identifying the occupants of the building was therefore a top priority, and by September 2010, CIA intelligence analysts had concluded that the building was "designed to hide someone important," most likely bin Laden.
Intelligence officials speculated that bin Laden lived there with his young wife and family. ‘
Compared with the nearby houses, the entire building occupies 8 times the average floor area of the local area, and the entire courtyard is surrounded by a concrete wall of 3.7 meters to 5.5 meters high, and even barbed wire is installed to prevent others from peeking, and the entire building is designed with two security doors.
There is also a 2.1-meter-high privacy wall on the balcony on the third floor, which is enough to hide bin Laden, who is 193 centimeters tall.
The CIA went into hiding in Abbottabad, rented a house, and put an entire team of agents into monitoring the building and courtyard for months. The CIA's intelligence team also tried to use informants or other techniques to gather intelligence about bin Laden from buildings. They even simulated the action to ensure a one-hit kill.
On April 24, 2011, WikiLeaks revealed a wealth of information about the Joint Task Force at Guantanamo, which also mentioned Abu Faraj Libi confessing to intelligence officers that Maurawi Abdul Karidge Ivan was the name of the messenger who contacted bin Laden.
Action is in the making.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="37" > "Spear of poseidon"</h1>
The operation was quietly launched, and the official code name for the operation was "Operation Poseidon's Spear", in which "Poseidon's Spear" refers to the trident held by Neptune; it also appears in the pattern of the Special Operations Seniority Badge, and the three forks of the trident symbolize the ability of the SEAL forces to perform tasks at sea, land and in the air.
The elite Navy SEALs have undergone extremely rigorous training for this purpose, and they must successfully complete the operation.
In fact, U.S. President Barack Obama has met with his national security adviser several times since September 2010, and in January 2011 the CIA first mentioned the building's existence to Vice Admiral william McRaven, commander of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC).
McRaven thought it was easy to send a surprise attack and began to prepare.
The U.S. military is not at all worried about the possible reaction of Pakistan, and they have always been the "world police" who run amok.
Thus began with the helicopter on a surprise mission taking off from Bagram Airfield in northeastern Afghanistan, making final preparations at a temporary command base on the outskirts of the city of Jalalabad in eastern Afghanistan, and then slowly crossing the border into Pakistan.
According to the mission plan, the first Black Hawk helicopter will hover over the open space between the courtyard of the building and the entrance to the first floor, allowing the first members of the Navy SEAL Special Forces to prepare for the attack directly from the first floor;
Meanwhile, a second Black Hawk helicopter will first deploy language interpreters, military dogs (trained in explosion protection) and their trainers outside the courtyard on the northeast side of the building, as well as four members of the SEAL unit responsible for guarding the surrounding area.
A second helicopter maneuvered over the roof, carrying the captain of the raid and six members of the SEAL Special Forces, descending rapidly down the roof in a rapid rope.
The entire attack took on a pincer-shaped movement commonly used in the military, and then the team in the courtyard took the lead in attacking the buildings on the ground.
However, according to military reports at the time, a helicopter was affected by the weather and improperly operated when hovering over the target, causing the tail of the aircraft to accidentally "hit the wall next to the courtyard".
The impact caused the tail helix wing to be severely damaged and could not be used again, and the fuselage, including the rotor and the helicopter, was cracked due to squeezing. The commandos did not anticipate the unexpected, and they lost a helicopter before the start of the operation. In short, the military report may be difficult to distinguish between true and false, but the fact is that the US military scrapped a helicopter in this operation.
According to bin Laden's wife, Amal Ahmed Abbadul Fata, bin Laden was awakened by the sound of a delicate voice long before the helicopter soft landing:
He straightened up in panic, his wife felt abnormal and wanted to turn on the lights, but bin Laden stopped her, repeating: "The Americans are finally coming", but this extra prejudgment did not allow bin Laden to escape from the raid...
After rendezvousing with the members of the unit that had originally fallen into the courtyard, the SEAL troops began to reorganize their offensive and prepare to carry out a direct attack on the ground; as soon as the order for a dawn raid at 1 a.m. local time was issued, the SEAL troops immediately blew up the walls of the building and the outer doorway with explosives and entered the house to search, and soon, there was an extremely fierce encounter.
Ahmed Kuweti, one of al-Qaida members, armed with an AK-47 assault rifle, immediately opened fire on the squad, leading to a skirmish.
Soon, Ahmed Kuweti was killed, as was his brother Barr in the confusion. However, next to his body lay another woman, and it was later confirmed that Bal's wife, Bhusala, was also shot and killed in the chaos. In the stairwell of the main building, the second squad of the SEAL force once again killed an adult son of a 22-year-old bin Laden who was rushing towards them.
Bin Laden evaded the search and bullet attack in a flash and retreated to his room. Immediately afterwards, the commandos followed bin Laden into his room, where they saw 2 women inside. Among them was Bin Laden's wife, Amal Ahmed Abbad al-Fata.
One member of the Navy SEALs immediately fired 1 bullet at the woman's leg to control her movements, and immediately overwhelmed and pulled the 2 women in the house to the side, while the 2nd Navy SEAL member entered the room and fired 1 round each of bin Laden's chest and head with a HK416 assault rifle.
Bin Laden was killed in a brutal death, and then-U.S. President Barack Obama witnessed images coming from the front in the White House war room.
That night, he announced to the public the news of bin Laden's killing, and the media was so excited that osama was once beaten to Obama, and the horrific terrorist leader finally collapsed in a pool of blood, ending his tortuous life.
