US Commandos Kill 20 In Pakistan

'US commandos killed at least 20 people including women and children in a cross-border raid Wednesday in Pakistan's tribal region, a high-ranking government official said.

'Innocent citizens of Pakistan including women and children were martyred,' Owais Ahmed Ghani, the governor of the North-Western Frontier Province, said in a statement.

According to Ghani, commandos based in Afghanistan supported by three helicopter gunships carried out the 'outrageous' attack in the Angor Adda area of the South Waziristan tribal district.

'This is a direct assault on the sovereignty of Pakistan and the people of Pakistan expect that the armed forces would rise to defend the sovereignty of the country and give a befitting reply to all such attacks,' he said.'
