Pakistan Relations

The relationship between the U.S. and Pakistan has deteriorated recently. The most recent conflict was when the U.S. attacked a border post that accidentally killed three Pakistani soldiers. The U.S. gave apologies to Pakistani officials. Pakistan closed supply lines into Afghanistan, which the U.S. worries made it easier for militants to attack backed up tanker trucks that were going to Afghanistan. America has put pressure on Pakistan to crack down on terrorist groups. A video came onto the internet last week. It showed men in Pakistani uniforms executing six men in civilian clothes, it increased concern about unlawful killings by Pakistani soldiers. The threat of terrorist attacks in Europe has also caused tension to mount.
