<Kumar : Lets HOPE this meeting is without the Press attending>

WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama will on Friday meet members of the secretive team of elite commandos that carried out the covert operation inside Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden, a US official said.

Obama also met Admiral William McRaven, chairman of Joint Special Operations Command in the Oval Office on Wednesday to thank him for the successful assault on bin Laden's lair in Abbottabad, the official said on condition of anonymity.

The president, who will visit Fort Campbell in Kentucky Friday, "will have the opportunity to privately thank some of the special operators involved in the operation," the official said.

The Navy SEALs team helicoptered across Pakistan and killed bin Laden in the early hours of Monday morning before taking his corpse to a US ship in the Arabian Sea for a burial at sea.
