embassy in islamabad, pakistan. it has always been a great desire of any pakistani who could to get to the united states to study, to work, to get a higher degree, to find opportunities that they couldn't find at home. so the relationship is old and solid and constant. but what's happened in the past, i mean, it's really been about 25 years, but particularly in the past five to 10 years, is that it's changed, and what started changing it was the fact that after the soviets were defeated in afghanistan in 1989, the united states basically sort of dropped pakistan and sort of the aid was cut off, interest was lost, there was no longer the soviet threat. so pakistanis felt very abandoned by the united states and they'll tell you this all the time. and then more recently when you had 9/11 you had the u.s. invasion of iraq, you had u.s. support for israel, obviously. what started happening was that religious organizations and leaders in pakistan started really focusing on the bad side of the relationship and started, you

as we listen to the evening call to prayer here in islamabad, let's explain to you what we know. the way this kidnapping went down, it clearly looks like it was a very well-planned and coordinated plot. the target of this kidnapping, according to the u.s. embassy in islamabad and pakistani police, warren winestein, a development worker, one of the many here in pakistan and an american citizen. the kidnapping, according to police, happening at 3:15 a.m. local time, in the city of lahore. it is ramadan, the muslim holy month. a lot of people fasting. police say winestein's three security guards and his driver were in his front yard, getting ready for a pre-fast meal when there was a knock on the front gate. three men saying they wanted to offer food, which is customary during ramadan. well, that turned out to be a ploy by these three men to force their way in. once the gates were opened, they did, indeed, force their way in. other slaassailants scaled the wall, according to investigators. they tied up the security guards, duct taped their mouth, pistol-whipped winestein's driver, e

cnn's reza sayah has been covering this story and joins us now live from islamabad, pakistan. so what do you know, reza? >> reporter: well, we know, according to state-run media, that josh fattal and shane bauer have been convicted and sentenced to eight years. i think this is a verdict that's going to surprise a lot of people, especially outside of iran, who were perhaps expecting these two hikers to be released after being held in prison by iranian authorities for two years while they waited for this very lengthy case to be completed. of course, it's a verdict that's going to be deeply disappointing to the parents of fattal and bauer, who were hopeful that this ordeal was going to be over soon, but clearly this ordeal appears to be far from over. again, according to state-run media, josh fattal and shane bauer convicted and sentenced to eight years in prison. here's the statement according to state-run media. it says, in connection with illegal entry into iranian territory, each was given three years prison sentence in connection with the charges of espionage and cooperating

if i am asked why we continue to work with pakistan, i will only tell you that my counterparts in islamabad tonight is probably being asked the same questions, why did they continue to work with the americans? we have no choice but to maintain the relationship. a reminder on several issues here that do not seem to get much play in the press here. pakistan has lost more troops fighting these terrorists than all of nato combined. that does not make our news. they have had over 30,000 civilians killed or wounded in terrorist attacks. we had around 3000 on 9/11. they have had 30,000. we will continue to work with pakistan to reduce the safe havens. in 40 years of wearing this uniform, i have never been any more difficult terrain in my life and the border region between afghanistan and pakistan. you know the problems that the americans have maintaining order security along a relatively flat and not difficult to rein in order to the south of here. -- terrain border south of here. the fear of indian drives much of their behavior, yet they moved 25% of their army off of the indian border and moved

he came to islamabad for about four hours. he refused to have a focus session with president moshav -- musharaf, who was at that time chief executive of the country. that had come about to a military coup in 1989. pakistan was shunned at that time. it was quite -- it was a low point in our relationship. but before 2000 -- let me also make one other reference, and that is 1998, when india conducted nuclear tests. pakistan came under pressure not to follow suit, not to conduct nuclear tests at that time. president clinton offered some say about $10 billion assistance if pakistan were not to do that. with that, lifting sanctions and opening of the military sales, all that. but it was a very difficult question for pakistan, because having conducted the nuclear tests, soon after, the indian papers and many others started questioning pakistan's capability. they said that by testing we have called pakistan's bluff. there was an ambiguity about the whole question of whether pakistan was capable. pakistan had pursued an untested path t

we're joined from the pakistani capital, islamabad on the latest on this.m officials today about this case? >> randi, at this point it looks like officials don't have much to go on. a lot of mystery still surrounding this kidnapping. i don't think there's any question his family desperately wants to know if he's okay and where he is. it seems neither pakistani police nor the u.s. embassy here in islamabad have any information about his condition and his whereabouts. the only bit of new information that we received today was that pakistani police are saying they've detained weinstein's three security guards and his driver, but they are only been detained for questioning. they point out that they're not suspects in this kidnapping. they only want to ask him questions. in pakistan the law does say that you can detain someone for up to 72 hours for questioning and we're still in that 72 hp hour window. weinstein kidnapped early saturday morning around 3:00 a.m. assailants broke into his home, tied up his security guards, pistol whipped his driver, eventually le

here's the very latest from islamabad pakistan. >> this is a verdict that will probably surprise a lot of people outside of iran who expected josh and shane to be released after they have spent more than two years in prison waiting for this lengthy case to be completed. and it's a report that will deeply disappoint the parents of josh and shane who were deeply hoping this or deal would be over for their sons. it appears that this or deal is finally over. a court in iran has convicted bauer and fattal of spying and trespass and sentenced them to eight years in prison, three years for trespassing and three years for spying, a charge that the men and their lawyers have been declaring all along. his attorney says he was ain't ware of the verdict until he heard it in the media. he says he's not going to comment until he's spoken to court officials. of course this is a case that made worldwide headlines shortly after the hikers were detained in july 2009 and it has increased tensions between iran and the u.s. and this verdict certainly won't help relations between washington and tehran. but

it will make the strained relationship between washington and islamabad even more strained. u.s., of course, still grants pakistan billions of dollars in aid every year. so even though invaded pakistani airspace, they certainly expect pakistan not to turn around and give it to the chinese. so that would be a major problem and of course the pakistani chinese military relationship, very tight, very close, something that constantly worries the u.s. because of these very kinds of situations. >> barbara starr, thank you so much. >> sure. >> speaking of pakistan, an american working in another country, disappears in this kidnapping plot. we'll tell what you the kidnappers did to distract security guards. >>> for those lost in the dramatic collapse at the indiana state fair. look at this. you'll hear from a woman who captured the disaster on camera in a moment. who cuddle up with your soreness and give out polar bear hugs. technology.

cnn's reza sayah is live in islamabad for us. what can you tell us is the latest?ion about this explosion police now tell us that this was a suicide attack carried out by a teenage suicide bomber between 15 and 17 years old. police say he walked into this mosque and blew himself up. this is another one of those attacks that really drives home the fact that for some of these militant groups here in pakistan, no target is off limits. not even a mosque where you have hundreds of people gathered to pray. the death toll is going up steadily. right now, according to police, the death toll stands at 43 people killed. at least 117 people injured. we've been monitoring the pictures on our affiliate here in pakistan. those pictures are awful. they show the aftermath of the explosion, the destruction, the debris, you have shoes and slippers strewn all over the floor. bloodied victims staggering around looking for help. dozens of other victims getting treatment in the hospital nearby. this point no group has claimed responsibility for this attack, but a couple of things to poi

in islamabad there are sectors. enough qatar to there are sectors so we don't have any restrictions, and it has happened that this man approach to accomplices, his companions got a place which was a complex situation but a very honest due date to -- modest place if you look at the pictures. and he never left that place. if there were any complicity is on the pakistan side that complicity would have now come to light because there is a lot of material which was taken over by the fields from that. anyway, in pakistan, the debate is not on the question of whether osama was there. there are some questions that are raised about this and it is a part of the commission which has been set up, but the public comment was more focused, the media comment was more focused on how come the americans were able to come to the area of the operation and everybody was sleeping? so you can see this disconnect also in the media perceptions of the data come and the media somehow -- i will try to sort out grab this up. there are a number o
