'Stop the drones!': US ignores Pakistan plea
The rift in US-Pakistani relations looks set to widen after Washington failed to assure the once close ally, that it would end drone attacks on Pakistani territory. Islamabad's demands fell on deaf ears though, during the visit of the US special envoy, who's in Pakistan amid efforts to mend fractured ties. Relations between the two derailed following the US raid that killed Osama bin Laden, and a NATO airstrike that left 24 Pakistani soldiers dead.

May 25, 2012 Pakistan_FM defends jail term for doctor
Pakistan's foreign minister has defended a court decision to imprison a Pakistani doctor who helped the United States track down Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden last year. Hina Rabbani Khar was speaking to NHK in Tokyo on Friday during her visit to Japan. On Wednesday, a Pakistani court sentenced Dr Shakil Afridi to 33 years in prison for treason. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denounced the ruling as unjust and said the US will continue to pursue the issue with authorities in Pakistan. Khar stressed the need to respect every country's laws and suggested that it would be unrealistic for any country to expect Pakistan to go against its laws. US-Pakistan ties were strained after the US commando raid that killed bin Laden last May and a US air attack that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers near the border with Afghanistan last November. Pakistan closed supply routes for US-led NATO forces in Afghanistan in retaliation. Khar said the US should apologize for the 24 deaths if it wants Pakistan to reopen the routes.

Pakistan's unregulated drug industry
Pakistan's government is being criticised for not doing enough to control the country's pharmaceutical industry. A hundred people have died, and 400 others are in hospital, after taking contaminated heart medicine. Pakistan has a number of domestic pharmaceutical manufacturers, making generic versions of drugs and selling them at prices that are more affordable than their overseas counterparts. While they are supposed to be regulated by the government, a recent devolution of the health ministries to the provincial level has meant that most are not monitored at all.

Pakistan commemorates anniversary of Osama bin Ladens death
It has been a year since US Navy SEALs raided Osama bin Laden's home in Abbottabad, Pakistan on May 2, leaving the FBI's most wanted man dead. The compound where bin Laden once lived with his four wives and children was demolished in February and is now reduced to debris. For years the United States and Pakistan were working together to track down bin Laden and fight extremists near the Afghanistan border prior to the raid. However the US kept the mission a secret from Pakistan fearing bin Laden maybe tipped off. This left Pakistanis outraged by the violation of their national sovereignty. On the other hand, US officials, questioned bin Laden's "hiding in plain sight," location near one of the country's top military academies. Meanwhile, Abbottabad residents continue to raise the question on the most obvious piece of evidence from last year's raid -- where is the photograph of the dead al-Qaeda leader? Some doubt that bin laden is really dead but believe rather that the announcement of his killing has been used as a political ploy. "What on earth is this? That they took the body from here and dumped it in the ocean! There is no truth in this. It is all a drama. They should at least show something, give some proof. Obviously this is going to be used for cashing into the (US) election," said local resident Naveed Ahmed. The US administration said they decided not to release any photos to the public due to the graphic nature of the images, and that they would only incite ...
