Operation Cannonball is an American Central Intelligence Agency operation that was disclosed in 2008.^[1] Beginning in 2006, it was intended as part of an effort to capture Osama Bin Laden and eliminate Al Qaeda forces in Pakistan.^[1] There was reportedly "mounting frustration" among Pentagon officials due to the ongoing delay and deployment of special forces units, as originally planned in the Cannonball program.^[2] The operation was reportedly hampered by conflicts between CIA offices, leading to large delays in the deployment of the program.^[1] Partially to blame for the presently failed deployment of the program was conflict among United States intelligence agencies, along with resources having been diverted to the War In Iraq.^[2]

The existence of the covert program, and its various internal conflicts, was revealed to the public by The New York Times on June 30, 2008.^[3] The New York Times article was said to be "exposing highly classified Pentagon orders".^[3]
