According to U.S. officials, two U.S. helicopters swept into the compound at 1:30 and 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning.
Twenty to 25 U.S. Navy Seals under the command of the Joint Special Operations Command in cooperation with the
CIA stormed the compound and engaged Bin Laden and his men in a firefight, killed Bin Laden and all those with him.
One of the U.S. helicopters was damaged but not destroyed during the operation, and U.S. forces elected to destroy it themselves with explosives.
The Americans took Bin Laden's body into custody after the firefight and confirmed his identity.
