Kill Shot: The Story Behind Bin Laden’s Death

ABC News “20/20” gives viewers the most complete picture yet of the death of Osama bin Laden, from inside the situation room in Washington DC, to inside the compound in Pakistan to inside the minds of the brave men who stormed it.

With new details and behind-the-scenes reports from Chris Cuomo, Elizabeth Vargas and Chris Connelly in New York, Martha Raddatz in DC and Nick Schifrin in Pakistan, the hour will include the exclusive video from inside the compound; a look at the definitive “tale of two cities:” Washington, DC and Abbotabad; the elite Navy Seals team; the reaction from teenagers who have grown up only knowing life after 9/11; and reality vs. fiction: how we think we know exactly what happened because of Hollywood’s film portrayals of special ops.

Released 5 May, 2011. TV documentary.

    If this documentary speaks seriously about Bin Laden being killed by the US Government in 2011, it is a blatant lie. Do not believe mass-media propaganda!

      What is your evidence for this assertion? Share it with the world. Let’s hear your conspiracy theory and we can all have a laugh.

    OMG!

    Funny in so many ways!

      Funny? What specifically? Don’t be so selfish, share the joke. Spell it out. What was funny about 9/11? What was funny about all the killing there has been since 9/11. What is funny about suicide bombing? Bin Laden is dead. Explain exactly what is funny about that? I despised his politics and his views on Islam which I think completely distorted the truth about Islam. He is dead. Will his death lead to more killing? I guess we will find out. Was it lawful? I guess the lawyers will argue about that. I am still struggling to find anything funny in this topic. Meanwhile, Bin Laden’s daughter witnessed his death. Other children witnessed fathers’ being shot dead during this raid. Those children are innocent. Just like those bereaved on 9/11. I don’t see anything funny about bereaving children. ‘Even’ the young children of terrorists are still children and still innocent. Part of Bin Laden’s sin was what he did to his own family as well as what he did to other families. As he himself confessed in his own will and last testament. So, yeah, you’re so smart, you tell us what is so funny in any aspect of this situation? Do you mean the television programme and its innane discussion about Hollywood’s take on terrorism? Yeah, I would agree that is ridiculous. But I don’t see anything else to laugh at and I object to your callous immature attitude. Go away and grow up before you post comments you don’t even try to justify. You are a dickhead, just like Kevin.

    I can’t handle how sensationalized and dramatic this program is. With the tense music and ferocious tone of the narrator. Awful. It discredits the show and does a disservice to journalism as a whole.

    My girlfriend and I were talking about the public response to Bin Laden’s death, and how it looked as though some sports team had just won the play-offs with all the chanting and flag waving. It was horrible to watch and would have accomplished little more than to just escalate the animosity the world already has for the US.

    Note: If anyone wants to respond to this with anything to do with their “hatred” of Americans, please don’t. If you want to try and justify your hatred of them, go to NYC to see how repellent a group of people they are. It will be difficult if not impossible to do.

      Get off your high horse. Not all Americans are repellent, and saying so betrays your true ignorance.
