It was apparently (officially known as the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group, which is quite a mouthful), under the command of the CIA. Not a lot is yet known about the operation, other than that U.S. intelligence was for months surveying the compound they suspected bin Laden was hiding in, before they launched the operation sometime during the past week. Although a U.S. helicopter was shot down, no U.S. forces were killed.
