ISLAMABAD — More than 30,000 Islamists rallied against the U.S. in the Pakistani city of Lahore on Sunday, demanding Islamabad cut off ties with Washington following NATO airstrikes last month that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. The protest highlighted the ability of hard-liners to bring their supporters into the streets, as well as the lasting anger over the Nov. 26 attack, which has complicated U.S. efforts to enlist Pakistan’s cooperation on the Afghan war.

LAHORE, Pakistan — Since January, when a CIA contractor shot two Pakistanis to death on the streets of the country’s second-largest city, life has moved on for the main protagonists in what became the first of several low points this year in U.S.-Pakistani relations. But the incident remains a gaping wound for one Pakistani family. In the commotion that followed the shooting, a U.S. Consulate vehicle rushing to the scene struck and killed Abbad ur-Rehman, a 32-year-old shop owner who was riding his motorcycle to work.

An American man has been abducted by a group of gunmen from his house in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore

Some eight to 10 men were believed to be involved in the abduction, police official Attiqur Rehman said. Two of them convinced guards at the American’s home to open the gate by saying they wanted to give them food — an act of sharing common during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which started in August.

Pakistan Frees CIA Contractor
In a feature at Foreign Policy, I explore in greater depth the case of Raymond A. Davis, a CIA contractor who shot and killed two Pakistanis on a motorcycle back on January 27.

Many Pakistanis know it as the case involving a U.S. spy who, in cold blood, shot and killed two Pakistani intelligence agents sent to tail him. The conflict is about more momentous questions than a double homicide in central Lahore. . . .
