The military team that killed Osama Bin Laden is an elite special forces group unofficially called Seal Team 6.
Officially, the team's name is classified and not available to the public, technically there is no team 6. A Tier-One counter-terrorism force similar to the Army's elusive Delta group, Team 6's mission rarely make it to paper much less the newspaper....
...Team 6 is normally devoted to missions with maritime authority: ship rescues, oil rigs, naval bases or land bases accessible by water. There are no waterways near Bin Laden's compound.
When a former Navy SEAL was called for a comment about this article all he could say was: "You know I'd love to help you man, but I can't say a word about Team 6. There is no Team 6."

thanks for posting
it did seem really strange to me that it was a Navy SEAL group that accomplished this mission...
but maybe the "burial at sea" for disposal of his body was part of the plan from the beginning - - like they knew all along that if they got him that's what they'd do, because when I think about it getting him out and disposed of seems like it might be an even bigger issue than the raid itself
