In this Friday, April 25, 2014 photo, representatives of trade and business unions carry pro-army signs during a rally to support the Pakistan army and its Inter-Services Intelligence wing in 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? Placards in Urdu read, "we salute Pak army, we won't let Pak army down, long live army." (AP Photo/B.K. Bangash)
