American forces conducted a raid inside Pakistan, in the first known foreign ground assault in the country against a suspected Taliban haven. The Pakistan government condemned an incursion that it said killed at least 15 people.
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.

Citing witness and intelligence reports, Abbas said troops flew in on at least one big CH-47 Chinook transport helicopter, blasted their way into several houses and gunned down men they found there.

Habib Khan Wazir, an area resident, said he heard helicopters, then an exchange of gunfire. "Later, I saw 15 bodies inside and outside two homes. They had been shot in the head."
