   member of the special U.S. military team that killed terrorist leader   
   Osama bin Laden has written a book about the mission, raising concerns   
   among  U.S. officials about potential leaks of classified information.   
      
   U.S. publisher Dutton says the book was written by a Navy SEAL member   
   writing under the fictitious name of Mark Owen, in collaboration with   
   journalist Kevin Maurer.  The author issued a statement through Dutton   
   saying it was time to "set the record straight" about last year's raid   
   on the Pakistani compound that killed the leader of the al-Qaida   
   terrorist group, which carried out the 2001 terrorist attacks on   
   Washington and New York.

   ​​But spokespersons for both the Pentagon and the CIA said their   
   agencies had not reviewed the book to ensure no classified material is   
   revealed. Former military and intelligence personnel are required to   
   submit any writings to their agencies before the work is published.   
      
   The book's release comes as the Obama administration is being   
   criticized for leaking classified details about the bin Laden raid for   
   what some say are political reasons.   
      
   Dutton says the book was reviewed by a former special operations   
   attorney.  The CIA or the Pentagon can take legal steps against the   
   author or attempt to stop publication.   
      
   "No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission that Killed Osama   
   bin Laden," will be released on September 11, the 11th anniversary of   
   the deadly terrorist attacks on Washington and New York.  The publisher   
   says the author will donate proceeds to charities that support families   
   of slain Navy SEALS.
