This is really interesting news, and may be another part of the deal Pakistan made with the US when it allowed Musharraf to be forced from office:

The Pakistan government condemned an incursion that it said killed at least 15 people.

The American official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of cross border operations, told The Associated Press that the raid occurred on Pakistani soil about one mile from the Afghan border. The official didn’t provide any other details.

…

The boldness of the thrust fed speculation about the intended target. But it was unclear whether any extremist leader was killed or captured in the operation, which occurred in one of the militant strongholds dotting a frontier region considered a likely hiding place for Usama bin Laden and Al Qaeda’s No. 2 leader, Ayman al-Zawahri.

Some reports claim 15-20 people were killed and it was a Taliban center. Personally, if Pakistan doesn’t like this, they should purge their country of these criminals so other nations are not forced to do the job for them.
