Tensions between America and Pakistan continue to increase as America calls for the release of the imprisoned doctor, Shakil Afridi, who contributed to tracking Osama bin Laden to his hideout. It has been revealed by US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta that the doctor set up a false vaccination program in order to recieve DNA samples from those inside the compound. The doctor has been held in custody since late May and has likely been tortured, leading Panetta to make comments about Pakistan's response to this issue. This issues continue to bring questions as to how aware Pakistan was to the situation before the attack on the compound.
