Operation Neptune Spear
On 2 May 2011, the United States conducted Operation Neptune Spear, in which SEAL Team Six shot and killed Osama bin Laden at his " Waziristan Haveli" in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Bin Laden, who founded al-Qaeda and orchestrated the September 11 attacks, had been the subject of a United States military manhunt since the beginning of the War in Afghanistan, but escaped to Pakistan— allegedly with Pakistani support—during or after the Battle of Tora Bora in December 2001. The mission was part of an effort led by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), with the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) coordinating the Special Mission Units involved in the raid.

Press reports claimed that "Geronimo" was used in the raid to refer to bin Laden himself, but this was later contradicted by official sources. The official mission code name was ''Operation Neptune Spear'' (a reference to the trident in the SEAL insignia), with ''Jackpot'' as the code name for bin Laden as an individual and ''Geronimo'' as the code word for bin Laden's capture or death. In the book ''No Easy Day'', former SEAL Matt Bissonnette, who participated in the mission, states that "Geronimo" was the code name for bin Laden. On 4 May 2011, President Barack Obama spoke with "60 Minutes" about the raid, telling reporter Steve Kroft: "There was a point before folks had left, before we had gotten everybody back on t ...
