Fox News has hired the former Navy SEAL who is
believed to have shot and killed Osama Bin Laden as a contributor.
Former Team Six leader Rob O'Neill will offer
military expertise and analysis across various daytime and primetime programs,
the network announced.
The decorated ex-solider, who has been involved in
more than 400 combat missions and deployed a dozen times, was profiled in the
channel's documentary The Man Who Killed Osama Bin Laden, last year.
He is said to have fired the shots that killed the
Al Qaeda leader and 9/11 mastermind during a raid on his compound in May
2011.
Chairman and CEO for the network Roger Ailes said:
'Rob O’Neill is an American hero who dedicated his life to serving our country
and protecting our freedoms.
'It’s incredibly rare to have someone in a
television contributor role with his leadership experience and expertise at the
fighting unit level.
'His military insight will be a major asset to the
network and we are honoured to have him.’’ He stated.
