The Fox News reporter who conducted an extensive interview with the Navy SEAL who fatally shot Usama bin Laden identified the man who pulled the trigger as Rob O'Neill.

Peter Doocy told Megyn Kelly on "The Kelly File" Thursday that he spoke with O'Neill over the summer, when the former SEAL said he wanted to share the tale of that fateful night.

"He decided, now is when I want to tell my story, now is when I want to reveal myself," O'Neill told Doocy.

"It really is from the first minute of night one to the last minute of night two," Doocy said. "It is the most compelling account that any of us have seen or heard on this story."

Watch the two-night special, "The Man Who Killed Usama Bin Laden," hosted by Peter Doocy, premiere on Fox News Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET.
