US forces resort to cold blooded murder – 20 killed most of them women in ground assault

Wana, Waziristan: Once again the US forces acted on their own, landing in the Waziristan- Pakistan through helicopters and opened fire on the innocent residents of the area. Resultantly killing 20 people most of them women.

Pakistani foreign office called the US Ambassador to lodge their protest but like previous times this protest too will be as useless as the previous one, as the blood of Pakistani Muslims is not more the red colored water for the foreign forces that can be split for the sake reporting their actions to the higher ups in Washington. The US has repeatedly breached the sovereignty of a state that has shouldered the burden of US led war on terror and has stood by them. This is a price to be paid by Pakistan to their partners in this war against terrorism.

Meanwhile, the US commandos responsible for the killing blamed poor intelligence for the incident.
