Bin Laden publisher defies Pentagon

The publisher of an insider account of the US Navy SEAL raid that killed terror mastermind Osama bin Laden said it would begin public sales next week despite a Pentagon warning of possible legal action against the author and others.

Before the Pentagon’s warning, Penguin Group (USA) brought forward publication to September 4 from September 11, saying it was “important to put 'No Easy Day' on sale and let the book speak for itself”.
