Navy Seals Fear For Their Lives After Osama bin Laden Kill

The U.S. Government is implementing new security measures meant to protect the identities of the special forces men who helped kill Osama bin Laden.

Seal Team 6 has expressed concerns for not only their own lives, but the lives of their family members as Al-Qaeda threats against military personell have increased since the death of their founding leader.

The team wrote to Defense Secretary Robert Gates who responded with the following message:

“We are looking at what measures can be taken to pump up the security.”

Gates went on to add:

“There has been a consistent and effective effort to protect the identities of those who participated in the raid. I think that has to continue.”

Threats have picked up so much that President Obama’s grandmother in Africa has received additional protection from the U.S. Government.
