  9. Fire-fighters work to extinguish fires after a bomb explosion in Peshawar, located in Pakistan's restive North West Frontier Province October 28, 2009. Pakistan suffered its worst militant attack in two years when a car bomb killed more than 80 people in a crowded market in the city of Peshawar. The blast, which pushed the year's total for deaths in militant attacks close to 500, came several hours after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in the country, pledging a fresh start in relations.

A Pakistani court adjourned the trial of Davis, a CIA contractor charged with killing two Pakistanis until March 3, dismissing U.S. demands for his release. Davis shot dead two men in the eastern city of Lahore. He said he acted in self-defence and the United States says he has diplomatic immunity and should be repatriated. REUTERS-Mohsin Raza

U.S. lawmakers are ready to freeze up to $700 million in aid to Pakistan until Congress gets assurances that Islamabad is helping fight the spread of homemade bombs in the region, a move one Pakistani senator called unwise and likely to strain ties further. U.S. lawmakers said many Afghan bombs are made with fertilizer smuggled by militants across the border from Pakistan into Afghanistan. REUTERS-Akhtar Soomro

Jolie called for constant and long-term assistance for Pakistan to help it cope with its worst ever floods that have wreaked havoc on the impoverished country. REUTERS-Morteza Nikoubaz

  20. Supporters of the religious political party Sunni Tehreek set ablaze an effigy of U.S. President Barack Obama during an anti-American rally in Hyderabad September 27, 2011. Pakistan, facing a crisis in relations with the United States, appears to be seeking more support from powerful ally China. Washington accuses Pakistan's powerful ISI spy agency of directly backing the Afghan Taliban-allied Haqqani network and providing support for the Sept. 13 attack on the U.S. Kabul mission. Pakistan furiously rejected the allegations and warned the United States that it risked losing an ally if it kept publicly criticising Pakistan over the militant groups. The banner in the background reads, 'Long Live Pakistan's Army.' REUTERS-Akram Shahid

Pakistani Taliban militants claimed responsibility for the attack on the consulate, in which eight people including three militants were killed but no one in the mission was hurt. REUTERS-K. Parvez

Visiting a camp for families who have fled the conflict in Pakistan's Swat Valley, Holbrooke called on European and Muslim nations to shoulder more of the burden needed to avert a humanitarian crisis.

Pakistan, enraged by a NATO cross-border air attack that killed 24 soldiers, could withdraw its support for the U.S.-led war on militancy if its sovereignty is violated again, the foreign minister suggested in comments published. REUTERS-Akhtar Soomro

  26. A policeman hits an activist of the Pakistani religious political party Jamaat-e-Islami as he marches towards the U.S. consulate with others during a protest rally in Karachi September 24, 2010, to condemn the verdict against scientist Aafia Siddiqui. Pakistan vowed on Friday to repatriate Siddiqui who was sentenced to an effective life term in the United States as hundreds of people protested against the ruling, denouncing their government and its ally Washington. Many in Pakistan, a key U.S. ally in the war against militants and where anti-U.S. sentiment also run high, believe Siddiqui, a 38-year-old neuroscientist, is innocent. REUTERS-Athar Hussain

  27. Supporters of the political party Tehreek-e-Insaf scuffle with police blocking them from reaching the U.S. embassy, during protest against the accused killing of Pakistanis by a U.S. consulate employee during a demonstration in Islamabad, January 28, 2011. A Pakistani court on Friday ruled that a U.S. consulate employee would remain in police custody for six days for interrogation, after he was accused of killing two men in a shootout in the eastern city of Lahore.
