In Pakistan, at least twelve people have died in a suicide car bombing in Peshawar. The bombing occurred near a pair of checkpoints, one run by the Pakistani army and one run reportedly by the CIA. More than 150 people have been killed in Pakistan in a series of militant attacks over the past eleven days. Meanwhile, President Obama has signed a bill to send $7.5 billion to Pakistan over the next five years. The aid package has been criticized inside Pakistan because the bill ties some funds to fighting militants and is seen by critics as violating sovereignty.
