The death of Osama bin Laden at the hands of U.S. Special Operations Forces marked a significant milestone and point of inflection in the fight against al-Qa’ida. Rasmussen will outline the chronology of events leading up to the operation on May 1, 2011, to include the intelligence picture that emerged over time, the complex set of policy considerations involved with the decision to proceed with the raid, and the extraordinary conditions of secrecy that surrounded the entire process. Finally, he will provide a view from inside the White House Situation Room, as seen by a senior staff officer serving on the National Security Council staff for President Obama.
