U.S., Afghan Troops Kill 20 in Pakistan
ISLAMABAD, Sept. 3 -- At least 20 people were killed in northwest Pakistan on Wednesday after U.S. and Afghan troops crossed from Afghanistan to pursue Taliban insurgents in an early morning attack that marked the first known instance in which U.S. forces conducted an operation on Pakistani soil.
The arrival of three U.S. helicopters in the village of Musa Nika, clearly inside the Pakistani border, drew a sharp response from Pakistani officials.
"We strongly object to the incursion of ISAF troops on Pakistani territory," said Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas, chief spokesman for the Pakistani military.
“U.S. and Afghan troops crossed from Afghanistan to pursue Taliban insurgents in an early morning attack that marked the first known instance in which U.S. forces conducted an operation on Pakistani soil.”
Can you say high-value target(s)?
I knew you could.
I was nowhere near the place. I was in Arkansas at a Razorbacks game... I even had my team hat on....
Pakistan - US Ambassador summoned to FO

a protest over Angoor Adda incident.
It was a nasty fire fight at close quarters....the attackers really want whomever was in that house.
Stay safe Archy ! Who won ?
They won't protest. A couple of years back, somebody got smart.
A special US unit now has the authority to go after Osama bin Laden inside Pakistan without having to seek permission first, according to two US officials. A comprehensive report on the hunt for bin Laden run by the Washington Post on Sunday says that Lieutenant General Stanley A McChrystal, the commander of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) operates on the understanding with Pakistan that U.S. units will not enter Pakistan, except under extreme circumstances, and that Pakistan will deny giving them permission.
This is what happened in January 2006, when the JSOC troops clandestinely entered the village of Saidgai, two officials familiar with the operation said, and Pakistan protested.The authority, one knowledgeable person said, follows the target: if the target is bin Laden, the stakes are high enough for McChrystal to decide any action on his own.
Task force 77, formerly T/F 145 They've been busy little fellers....
Good info....I got alot of that info at work today and it said as well that Paki’s were saying around 20 wimmin and kiddie’s were murdered by our troops and 1 or 2 Tally Whackers captured and taken.
Disinformation from the Paki’s shows they are part of the problem versus the solution. US needs to tell em step back or get stepped on.
Pakistan army 'just miss' Zawahiri

Rehman Malik, the adviser to Pakistan's prime minister on security affairs, said on Monday they also received a report al-Zawahiri's wife had been in the tribal region of Mohmand. Pakistani forces stormed the location but did not find the couple, he said, without indicating when the raid took place.
