Angur Ada raid
The Angur Ada raid ((パシュトー語:د انګور اډې بريد)) was a covert raid conducted by U.S. Navy SEALs against Taliban fighters on September 3, 2008, within the border town of Angur Ada in South Waziristan. It was the first time American Troops fought a ground-based battle against the Taliban within Pakistani borders.〔 The raid took place at the same time as Pakistani military forces ended a four-week offensive in Bajaur, the northernmost Agency of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of which South Waziristan is the southernmost, an offensive that has displaced approximately half a million people.

The raid occurred in the village of Mūsā Nīkə () of the Angur Ada region of South Waziristan, Pakistan, less than one mile (1.6 km) from the border of Afghanistan. The operation was executed at 3:00 AM local time (23h00 in UTC).〔(American Forces Attack Militants on Pakistani Soil )〕 Though the U.S. has performed missile strikes in Pakistan before, this is reportedly the first time U.S. troops have taken ground action within the country against Taliban fighters. According to some early reports, roughly twenty people, possibly including three women and four children,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pakistan strongly condemns cross-border killing by coalition forces_English_Xinhua )〕 were killed in the raid.〔(Suspected US commandos kill 20 in S Waziristan raid )〕 However, it is not clear whether these were civilians or combatants; an American official stated that the women killed were helping the hostile militants.〔
Three Black Hawk helicopters carrying 45 U.S. Navy SEALs conducted the raid.〔 Only one of the helicopters landed and unloaded, while the two others flew overhead providing surveillance and aerial support to the other team.〔(American Forces Attack Militants on Pakistani Soil (p. 2) )〕 Two F-16 fighter jets also provided air cover.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Today's Newspaper – The News International )〕 The forces attacked three houses,〔 owned by "Faujan Wazir, Faiz Mohammad and Nazar Jan Wazir." The entire operation lasted 30 minutes.〔 All of the inhabitants were apparently asleep when the raid occurred,〔 and after examination none of the dead proved to be "important terrorists or high-value targets."〔(Zardari says fighting terror is Pakistani priority )〕 A U.S. military official stated that "a small number of militants () captured and several others killed," but refused to comment on exact numbers.
