The war is vastly complicated by rifts within the anti-Islamist camp. If any event precipitated a crisis it was the attack by US special forces on the village of Angoor Adda in Waziristan bordering Afghanistan on September 4. The raid led to the death of 20 Pakistani tribals, including several women and children. The attack, predictably, drew condemnation within Pakistan and even the country’s normally reserved foreign minister termed it "shameful, regrettable and astonishing". Yet, the raids continued. US Predator aircraft, flying round the clock, were firing Hellfire missiles at high-value terrorist targets in Pakistan’s lawless frontier areas, killing terrorists and civilians.
