Earlier this week a British ISIS supporter published the name and address of former Navy Seal Robert O’Neill who killed Osama bin Laden and called on American extremists to execute him.
The jihadists are upset that O’Neill is “traveling around America putting on seminars boasting about killing Sheikh Osama.”
Tuesday night on Hannity, Rob O’Neill responded to the threats:
FOX News reported:
Rob O’Neill, the Navy SEAL who killed Usama bin Laden during a May 2011 raid in Pakistan, played down the recent threat from ISIS that labeled him its top target and reportedly posted his home address online.
Britain’s Mirror newspaper reported that a British ISIS supporter published O’Neill’s address and called on American extremists to kill him. This is not the first report of ISIS sympathizers taking to social media to inspire attacks on U.S. military or their family.
“I’ve been ready for this since we killed Usama bin Laden,” O’Neill told “Hannity.” “I know how to defend myself.”
He confirmed that law enforcement is aware of the threat and have responded accordingly. The Butte-Silver Bow Police Department in Montana said it “is aware and is taking proper precautions.”
The police department learned about the lone-wolf threat over the weekend, The Montana Standard reported.
