Osama bin Laden, the former head of the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda, was killed in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, local time by Navy SEALs of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group (also known as DEVGRU or SEAL Team Six). The operation, codenamed Operation Neptune Spear, was carried out in a Central Intelligence Agency-led operation. In addition to DEVGRU, participating units included the U.S. Army Special Operations Command’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) and CIA operatives. The official mission code name was Operation Neptune Spear. Neptune’s spear is the trident, which appears on Navy Special Warfare insignia, with the three prongs of the trident representing the operational capacity of SEALs on sea, air and land. Geronimo EKIA was the terse message that United States President Barack Obama received when Laden was killed. The code name for bin Laden was ‘Geronimo’ and EKIA stood for Enemy Killed n Action. So the operation which killed Laden can also be referred to as Operation Geronimo, but it was not the official code name.
