Known to the world as 'The Shooter', the Navy SEAL will feature in a two-part show entitled "The Man Who Killed Osama Bin Laden" on November 11 and Wednesday, November 12, The Mirror reports.

For the first time since the killing of Bin Laden on May 1, 2011 in the Abbottabad mission, 'The Shooter' will be sharing his first hand account of Operation Neptune Spear that was focused on hunting and killing the man who orchestrated the 9/11 attacks.
