About 1:00 am on May 2, a commands group of elite U.S. SEAL led the operation, in which, after an exchange of fire, took the body of the terrorist in the northern town of Abbottabad. 

The assault force was on the ground less than 40 minutes and the operation was monitored in real time by the CIA director, Leon Panetta, from the CIA headquarters in Langley (Virginia).

The Americans took possession of Bin Laden's body after the shooting; he was brought back to Afghanistan by helicopter and confirmed his identity, making comparisons with DNA samples taken from the brain of a dead Bin Laden's sister of cancer in the United States.

His body was taken to the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, where after a funeral held according to Islamic rites, was buried at sea. A U.S. official reported that the body was thrown into the sea at 02:00 am Washington DC time.
