Fox News will broadcast an exclusive interview with the Navy SEAL that shot dead Osama Bin Laden during the raid on Bin Laden's Pakistan compound on May 1, 2011.

The SEAL, commonly referred to as "The Shooter," will reveal himself for the first time almost two and a half years after the stealth Abbottabad mission that killed the man behind the 9/11 attacks and leader of the international terrorist network, al-Qaeda.

According to the network's press release, Fox's Peter Doocy will interview the SEAL over the course of a two-part documentary called, "The Man Who Killed Osama Bin Laden."

The documentary will air on November 11th-12th at 10 PM EST.
