10 Pakistani soldiers killed in US raid and the
response from Pakistan is not pretty. The Pakistani government and army have responded with much anger.

At least 18 people are reported to have been killed in clashes on the Pakistan-Afghan border.

Ten of the dead were Pakistani troops, unnamed officials said. Reports said some of the troops may have died in an air strike by US forces.

Eight Taleban militants were also killed in the fighting, a Taleban spokesman said.
