In this Friday, April 25, 2014 photo, banners supporting the army and its Inter-Services Intelligence wing are on display in the streets of Islamabad, Pakistan. The mystery signs arrived in Pakistan as its powerful military faces off with the country’s largest private television station over allegations that its forces were behind a shooting that seriously wounded Hamid Mir, one of its top anchors. But behind the chanting demonstrations and garish loyalty posters lies the deep challenge confronting Pakistan: Where does power lie in this country that’s undergone three military coups since independence, with its army or its nascent civilian government? Banners read, top, "anything negative against army is not acceptable, and bottom, "every voice rising against Pakistan army should be silent."  (AP Photo/B.K. Bangash)
