In 2011, US security forces conducted an operation that led to the capture and killing of the world's most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden. The operation began on May 1, when two MH-60 Black Hawk helicopters left Jalalabad, Afghanistan, for Pakistan. On board the helicopters were 23 marines, an interpreter and a war dog. The mission was to fly undetected across the Pakistani border and infiltrate bin Laden's hideout in Abbottabad, kill him and bring the body back to the base. The hunt for Osama bin Laden began after the September 11 attacks in 2001, when four hijacked planes crashed into the United States. This led to the US-declared war on terror aimed at destroying al-Qaeda and its leader bin Laden. Years of tracking and intelligence work, including interrogations of captured al-Qaeda members and extensive communications monitoring, finally led to the location of bin Laden's hideout. After the United States confirmed bin Laden's location, President Barack Obama authorized the operation, which was carried out by SEAL Team 6. During the operation, one of the helicopters encountered technical problems, but the troops continued their mission and entered the building. Bin Laden was found and eliminated on the third floor. At the end of the operation, the troops secured the area and collected important intelligence material. Bin Laden's death caused relief and celebration, especially in the United States, although the operation also drew international criticism for violating Pakistan's sovereignty. Although bin Laden's death was a significant blow to al-Qaeda, it did not eliminate the global terrorist threat. This video does not contain violent imagery or imagery.
