Pakistani Shiite Muslims lay a U.S. flag on the road and chant slogan during a rally to condemn Monday's suicide bombing in Karachi, Pakistan on Friday, Jan. 1, 2010. Karachi, the country's largest city, came to a virtual standstill after religious and political leaders called for a general strike to protest a bombing that killed 44 people and subsequent riots. The banner reads 'The attack of Shiite procession is the conspiracy of oppressive forces.'
