    Pakistani demonstrators hold national flags and shout slogans during an anti-Indian protest in Karachi on March 3.Tensions have been running high between India and Pakistan for the past month and the two sides have been trading fire in the disputed Kashmir region.

    Pakistan's ambassador to the U.S., Asad Khan, says India is hastily and unfairly blaming his country for a Feb. 14 suicide bombing that killed more than 40 Indian security force members in the disputed Kashmir region.
