Q542401
The Angoor Adda raid was a covert raid conducted by American Commandos from JSOC against Taliban fighters on September 3, 2008, within the border town of Angoor Adda 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.
