U.S.troops attack Taliban in Pakistan

U.S. troops crossed Pakistani borders early Wednesday morning to launch a ground attack against a suspected Taliban military haven, according to The Washington Post.

Pakistani parliament has condemned the raid, which reportedly killed 15 people, as a violation of Pakistani territory that could potentially undermine security cooperation with the U.S., the Associated Press reported.

The raid was the first one the military has launched within the country since the beginning of the War on Terror, according to The Post.

The incident went against the nation's cooperation in support of the War on Terror, a spokesman for the Pakistani military told the BBC.

"[It was a] completely unprovoked and cowardly act," the spokesman said.
