SEAL Who Shot Bin Laden Reacts to Report ISIS Operates in 15 States: ‘They’re Telling the Truth’

Former Navy SEAL Rob O’Neill, the man who shot Osama bin Laden, says the Islamic State “is telling the truth” about having 71 trained soldiers in 15 different states because “they are a populist” group . . .

Texas police killed two gunmen wearing body armor and armed with assault rifles who tried to ambush a “Draw Mohammed” cartoon contest in Garland, Texas. Elton Simpson, one of the armed attackers, linked himself to the Islamic State in a tweet just before the attack.

“We knew that the target was protected. Our intention was to show how easy we give our lives for the Sake of Allah,” said the Islamic State message posted today.

Former SEAL O’Neill pointed out that the Islamic State can claim credit for attacks after the fact “based on whether or not” the attack supports the group’s goals.

“ISIS is so popular right now because they’re over there with this glorified sense of resilience because no one’s fighting them,” said O’Neill. “They can make all those videos – there’s a lot of sympathy for ISIS in this country. It would take about 25 people working around the clock just to track one of these people.” (Read more from “SEAL Who Shot Bin Laden Reacts to Report ISIS Operates in 15 States: ‘They’re Telling the Truth'” HERE)
