Reply to comment by 5-On-A-Toboggan in TIL That Matt Bissonnette, the former DEVGRU operator who, under the pseudonym Mark Owen, wrote the first book about the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden was forced to turn over the almost $7 million he made from the book because he failed to get the book approved before it was published. by GentPc

Huh, TIL.

I had no idea that the convoy was stopped by NATO aircraft.

Although, since you mentioned the official narrative...

> According to their statement, NATO was not aware at the time of the strike that Gaddafi was in the convoy. NATO stated that, in accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973, it does not target individuals, but only military assets that pose a threat. NATO later learned "from open sources and Allied intelligence" that Gaddafi was in the convoy and that the strike was likely to have contributed to his capture and therefore his death. > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Muammar_Gaddafi
