Title: Arrest of Osama bin Laden's Alleged Killer

American authorities arrested Robert J. O'Neill, a former Navy SEAL who claims he killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, this week in Texas. O'Neill, 47, was booked last Wednesday in Frisco, facing a first-degree misdemeanor charge of assault causing bodily injury and a third-degree misdemeanor charge related to public intoxication, although jail records only listed the assault charge. The Frisco police declined to provide further details about the arrest. O'Neill was released the same day on a $3,500 bond. He was in town to record a podcast at a local cigar lounge. O'Neill became widely known after receiving credit for killing the mastermind of the September 11 attacks, Osama bin Laden, during a covert U.S. military raid in 2011. He recounted the story in his memoir published in 2017 titled "The Operator." The U.S. government has never confirmed or denied this account. In 2016, he was arrested for driving under the influence in Montana, but prosecutors later dropped the charges against him.
