DARING MAY DAY RAID
On 1 May, 2011, four helicopters carried members of the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU), formerly known as SEAL Team Six, on perhaps the biggest mission of the War on Terror. Their target: Usama bin Laden, the founder and leader of al-Qaeda, the man responsible for the attacks on the United States of 11 September, 2001. Backing them up were three aircraft carriers and other forces, ready to act if Pakistan tried to interfere with the operation.
