A military news blog revealed the name of a man who said he killed Osama bin Laden, ahead of an interview with Fox News that was scheduled to publicly identify him for the first time.
Rob O'Neill, a decorated Navy SEAL who is now a paid speaker, was named by Sofrep.com, a news and analysis site written by military veterans. O'Neill is scheduled to be interviewed on Fox News next week, and the network said the two-part documentary would disclose his identity for the first time.
Fox said he is already known as the Shooter, a nod to a 2013 piece that was published in Esquire magazine. "The Shooter," by investigative reporter Phil Bronstein, details the unidentified veteran's role in the 2011 raid of bin Laden's compound in Pakistan as well as the Shooter's worries about supporting his family after returning to civilian life.
Requests for comment by BuzzFeed News of O'Neill and his family were not immediately returned.
On Wednesday, The Daily Mail quoted a man who said he is Rob O'Neill's father, Tom, saying, "'People are asking if we are worried that ISIS will come and get us because Rob is going public. I say I'll paint a big target on my front door and say come and get us.'"
More recently, O'Neill has been a speaker with Leading Authorities.
His biography on the speaking firm's website describes him as a former team leader in the Naval Special Warfare Development Group. His experience in decision making and leadership are touted along with his combat experience.
