Anti-American fervor only deepened when a Florida church publicly burned a Quran. The incident sparked deadly protests across the country, including one that left four Nepalese guards and three international U.N. workers dead at their compound in Mazar-i-Sharif in northern Afghanistan. U.S.-Pakistan relations frayed after the Jan. 27 arrest of CIA contractor Raymond Allen Davis for killing two Pakistanis he said were trying to rob him. The incident stoked anti-American sentiment in Pakistan and led to one of worst rifts between the two governments, with high-level contacts suspended for weeks. The unpopularity of American airborne drone strikes on terror targets across the border in Pakistan also has made cooperation more difficult.
