Disputes over how the US is fighting its war on terror in Pakistan have put the two nations at odds once again.
A tentative agreement has been made to conduct a joint investigation into a Nato helicopter airstrike that killed three Pakistani soldiers on Thursday in the country's Kurram region.
In the days following the incident, more than a dozen Nato fuel trucks traveling through Pakistan were reportedly torched by armed men.
Islamabad also responded by blocking off a key supply route used by the US-led coalition forces in Afghanistan. In recent months, the CIA has also increased its drone attacks in Pakistan's border areas, which Islamabad has condemned as a violation of its sovereignty.
