Raymond Davis Case: Developing Story

[Veeru]

Pakistan defence photos found in US official's camera

Islamabad, Feb 9 (IANS) Prosecutors have recommended registering an espionage case against US official Raymond Davis, who shot dead two Pakistanis in Lahore, after police retrieved from his camera photographs of some sensitive areas and defence installations, including those of army bunkers on the eastern border with India.

Raymond Davis was arrested for fatally shooting two Pakistani motorcyclists in a busy marketplace of Lahore Jan 27.

'Keeping in view the nature of the case it is strongly recommended that a case of espionage be registered against Davis,' the prosecution branch of the Punjab police has written in an official letter to the investigation branch.

'During the course of investigation, police retrieved photographs of some sensitive areas and defence installations from Davis's camera,' a source told The Express Tribune.

'Photos of the strategic Balahisar Fort, the headquarters of the paramilitary Frontier Corps in Peshawar and of Pakistan Army's bunkers on the eastern border with India were found in the camera,' the source was quoted as saying.

A digital camera, a pistol and a phone tracker were recovered from Davis after his arrest.

The source said that the Punjab government considers Davis a security risk after the recovery of the photos of sensitive installations.

The US has scaled up pressure on Pakistan for the release of Raymond Davis by suspending bilateral engagements. The US insists that Davis enjoys diplomatic immunity.

Diplomatic sources has said the dispute could impact three major events planned this year -- President Asif Ali Zardari's visit to Washington, the next round of US-Pakistan strategic dialogue and trilateral talks involving Pakistan, Afghanistan and the US.

An official told the daily that Davis's name did not figure on a list of US diplomats presented by the US embassy to the ministry of foreign affairs Jan 25.

However, his name figures in another list submitted by the embassy to the ministry just a day after the Lahore shooting.

Although its off topic, but see how US is a linchpin, as for as Pakistan is concerned:

ISLAMABAD: Slain Pakistan People's Party leader Benazir Bhutto was given an assurance by the "highest authorities" in Pakistan and the US that she would be the next prime minister after the 2008 general elections, according to a media report on Wednesday.

Data retrieved from Bhutto's two BlackBerry phones, which were recently found by the staff at her home in Karachi, revealed the "firm assurance" given to her by authorities in Pakistan and the US that she would be the next premier, The Express Tribune newspaper quoted its sources as saying.

So how do you think Pakistan wont let go RD????

Hi,

If these two people who died---why did their families not come out that they were ISI personale---even the wife on her death bed didnot say anything relating to that.

Bottomline---even if they are ISI---pak should act as if they were not and deal with the issue as such---to admit to it, creates other issues.

Also---writing up a police Chalan in this case right away shows immaturity on the part of the pakistanis---leaking of material and pictures that he was carrying also showed immaturity by the administration---.

That happened due to the taliban lover minister Sanaullah and Sharif brothers---the Sharif bros did it to get concessions from peoples party---Rana sanaullah did it because of his hatred of america.

Neither one of them thought about the consequences that the nation will face---.

It were the personal grudges and personal glory that came out in the forefront---pakistan's welfare was put on the back burner.

Now was the time to swallow it---take credit and cash the benefits---. You had U S in the corner---made them look bad---made them apologize and then take what is offered.

and humiliate pakistan and pakistanis???

americans kill pakistanis is ok, is pakistani life so low valued??
what if your son was killed by that terrorist??

would you take credit and cash and all benefits that were offered and remain silent??? u hypocrite?? and what hypocrite traitor pakistani writes those above lines, didnt you smell some stink in those lines... i hate these types of american pakistanis

 

[RescueRanger]

More hyperbole. ISI is not some halwa, that you can shoot two of it's agents and just waltz on your merry way.

[Awesome]

Anybody wondered, where is Raymond Davis's wife, brother, sister, mother, father, friends, girlfriends/boyfriends, schoolmates, teacher - heck nothing from his colleagues either.

There has been no personal information on Raymond Davis that has been made available to the public yet. The only relative of Davis has been the US Embassy. Journalists are unable to go to say his wife and ask him "Hey is this man in the pictures, your husband?

Hi,

My post upset you---seems like it did---. Should I respond in the same coin as you did and decalre you a traitor---because you want to cause unrest and unstability amongst the citizen in these desperate time---when there are two major enemy armies right across from our borders---ready to avail any oppurtunity---.

If you are asking for agitation and not calmness then you are also instigating an enemy attack---that enemy attack may effect the position and integrity of our sensitive assets as well---now why would a good pakistani want to do something like that.

Why would a good pakistani citizen participate in creating a scenario that might jeopardize our asets in these tumulous times---I understand pride, honour and dignity---but at what price---.

If you lose your sovereignity---you got nothing left---if you lose your major assets---you have nothing left except for pride---and you know what----pride is for fools---you can only swallow it but can't eat it.

the whole case seems to have made more media sensation in Pakistan than in US. In fact, hardly and news here are talking much about it; New York Slimes had a brief little back-page article about the incident.


his family or his fellow ''consultants'' are more than welcome to speak out on the record. Seems they prefer (or have been briefed) to remain dumb and mute!

 

[ashok321]

Nobody left him!

Its CIA culture, when you are charged in an alien land as an operative - your home contacts are silent!

You wanna know his kith n kins?

Wait till he is west bound, and lands in the United States!
