Suicide bombers attacked two churches in a Christian community in Lahore, Pakistan, resulting in at least 14 deaths.

The hosts suggest that U.S. drone strikes in the area are primarily intended to protect energy pipelines and maintain control over the volatile border region.

An American official, Raymond Davis, was arrested in Lahore, Pakistan, after shooting two men he claimed were attempting to rob him. Despite U.S. demands for his release based on diplomatic immunity, Pakistani authorities have kept him in custody amidst widespread public protests.
