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.
