  14. Pakistani Shiite Muslims carry a burning US flag as they shout slogans during a protest against the US Kerry-Lugar Bill in Karachi on October 9, 2009. Pakistan's parliament resumed debate on a massive US aid package after rifts opened up between the military and the government over strings attached to the funding.

US Congress last week voted to triple aid to Pakistan to 7.5 billion dollars over the next five years, part of US President Barack Obama's plan to battle militancy through development and fostering democratic institutions.
