A former Navy SEAL – who claims he killed Osama bin Laden – has been banned by Delta Airlines, for refusing to wear a face mask.

Earlier this week, Robert O’Neill tweeted out a maskless selfie, from on board Delta flight, before he deleted it.

O’Neill later said he’d been banned by the airline, by tweeting:  “Thank God it wasn’t @Delta flying us in when we killed bin Laden… we weren’t wearing masks…

O’Neill claimed, in 2014, that he shot bin Laden.  He said it was during the Navy SEAL raid, which captured and killed the terrorist leader – a claim which other SEALs have disputed. 

Delta says wearing a mask is “part of every customer’s commitment prior to traveling on Delta.
