Pakistan

Pakistani expert Adil Najam says U.S./Pakistan relations are likely to get much worse over the coming year, but that may force both sides to start making realistic promises.

From the Raymond Davis incident to the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the relationship between the U.S. and Pakistan soured in 2011.

The controversy continues in Pakistan over an American who is suspected of shooting and killing two men he claims were trying to rob him last month.The U.S. says Raymond Davis is an embassy worker, but Pakistani officials say he does not qualify for diplomatic immunity in this case.

Vice President Joe Biden heads to Pakistan this week with a promise of more U.S. assistance. But he’s also expected to challenge Pakistan’s leaders to tell him exactly what they need to clear the Taliban from the tribal areas on the border with Afghanistan.
