This guy is clearly a murderer. Untrue statement .

Nope. The two robbers failed to complete robbing him. He defended himself from their armed stick up failed attempt.

Further, same two robbers held up two Paksiani men who filed police report and identified their robbers as the same two men. All over the Pakistani news, not a secret.

Their stolen cell phones were recovered from the two slain robbers person, together with two pistols, one each, from the robbers which weapons were illegally not registered and are crime evidence as well.

Asim Aquil;1457943]While that is true that the "Breaking News" phenomenon has really killed the spirit of journalism, but even so, the people should be wise enough to distinguish fact from fiction.

NOTE FROM AMERICAN EAGLE: Apart from the annual rise of raw crimes in Lahore from June 2009 to June 2010, there are of course the growing number of terrorist suicide bombings durng recent days and over the past year.

One suicide bombing was of a police graduating class near the Lahore offices of THE FRONTIER POST which now operates a branch there. I guess the terrorists think killing off the police before they can even get on the beat increases the degree of anarchy which terrorism thrives on.

As I have mentioned several times in recent days armed robbery has become a major funding source for al Qaida and the violent Taliban groupings.

Then you have two men robbed by the same two crooks who then failed in their robbery attempt on Raymond Davis who of course the GOP belatedly admits does have Diplomatic Immunity.

In that setting surely the victum is now being blamed by the Lahore public for the type of criminal actions the two unsuccessful robbers best epitomized. This is disgraceful and people should stop and think who is the enermy of law and order and national and local security, for the enemy is not the USA. Quite the opposite.

Crime rate goes up by 15pc

By: Jam Sajjad Hussain | Published: July 03, 2010

LAHORE - The performance of Lahore police can be imagined from the fact that crime ratio is increasing unabated which has reached to the extent of 15 per cent in June as compared to May. The comparative study revealed the crime rate is steadily rising which reflects the negligence of the police as well as the civil administration and political government led by PML-N.

The crimes of heinous nature sharply increased causing colossal loss to the life and the property of the citizens. It has also created a sense of insecurity and fear among the people to consider themselves unsafe even in their residences.

Despite the repeated assurances of safety to the life and property of the citizens by CCPO Aslam Tareen, former SSP (Operations) Ch Shafiq and SSP (Investigation) Zulfiqar Hameed, at least 15 per cent crime ratio has shoot up during the month of June compared to May. Notwithstanding the presence of almost 30,000 policemen in the City, according to police records, citizens were deprived of Rs 208 million in cash, 124 cars and 173 bikes were also lifted from various parts of the City in June. Two people were gunned down over offering resistance while seven injured during house robberies, The Nation has learnt. According to the data collected by this scribe, Rs 180 million were looted from the citizens in May and Rs 208 million in June. The FIRs registered in different police stations revealed the dacoits were set free for committing crimes in the City.

An American in Pakistan​

If there is one truth that the Raymond Davis affair has driven home it is that in Pakistan, sovereignty is a sham. The entire episode stinks of the impunity with which the US does as it pleases on our soil. That Raymond Davis shot two Pakistani youths, Faizan and Faheem — whether they were dacoits or not has yet to be proved — in an act that he terms as “self-defence” was shocking enough, but for the US to insist that the man be set free because of claimed ‘diplomatic immunity’ flies in the face of the facts, justice and fair play. Reports are proliferating that Mr Davis was not just any routine embassy or consul official. Raymond Davis has been called many things. Washington calls him a ‘diplomat’ but there are reports suggesting that he was a private security officer. News reports have also shown evidence to suggest that he was not travelling with a diplomatic visa, that he had been booted out of Pakistan a year ago because of dubious activities and there were even some claims from Washington that his name was not Raymond Davis at all! That means, at the very least, that he had entered and left Pakistan repeatedly during the past year on a false passport. Now, under this cloak of ambiguity, lies a challenge to Pakistan’s much touted sovereignty.

The reports mentioned above suggest that Raymond Davis was an undercover operative and the circumstances surrounding the shooting show that he was also a trained one. After shooting the two boys with sniper-like precision, Davis asked for a back-up car, which then proceeded to kill a third man in a hit-and-run accident. The whereabouts of the driver and passengers of that car remain unknown and US embassy officials refuse to hand over any information or the vehicle. Washington is issuing statements almost daily about how Raymond Davis’s actions are covered by diplomatic immunity under the Vienna Convention, and that they expect him to be released and handed over to them. Meanwhile the Lahore High Court (LHC) has restrained the government from handing him over to the US and has directed that Davis’s name be put on the Exit Control List. This move by the LHC ought to silence the opposition, who were creating quite a ruckus about the likelihood of a ‘secret’ deal between the government and the US to hand Davis over. Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira has said that the case will proceed according to the law of the land. The resignation of Punjab Deputy Prosecutor General Rana Bakhtiar became inevitable after he was removed from the sensitive case for statements to the media.

Diplomats, particularly those from the US, have been riding roughshod over our laws and citizens for a long time now. From traffic accidents, parking misdemeanours and blatant disregard for the lives and safety of the average Pakistani, embassy officials have been implicated in some rather messy matters but have been let off the hook simply because the immunity provided to them, literally, saved their skins. Such antics have served to make a mockery of the dignity, honour and respect that the host country deserves. Now that Raymond Davis, whether acting in self-defence or not, has got the blood of two Pakistani citizens on his hands, it has become clear how foreign diplomats and embassy staff view us. This murder has given the many anti-democratic forces and anti-US elements out there a reason to come out onto the streets and berate the government for not protecting Pakistan’s sovereignty. It is not too late for the government to turn over a new leaf and act in defence of the independence and sovereignty of Pakistan. As seems increasingly likely, if investigations indicate that Mr Davis does not have diplomatic cover, he must be tried and convicted according to the laws of Pakistan. This state-endorsed impunity that has emboldened US officials to commit daylight murder must end. *

RECENT ANALYSIS​

- - The worst scenario among all is the cooperation between the Punjab Government and the Foreign Office, as uptil now our foreign office cannot confirm if he is a diplomat or not.

- - The point to consider is that Raymond had things (wireless, GPS etc) that makes him look like an agent of an intelligence agency or a security agency sent to Pakistan on a mission.

- - The most suspicious behavior from Raymond is that he took pictures of the men after he killed them.

- - According to many analysts his name is not RAYMOND DAVIS

Foreign office get into reluctance because of irresponsible statements issued by Interior Minister Mr. Rehman Malik, once he declared visa as official and then Diplomatic. His strange appearance many time devalued government's position on international level.
May be time to rest on chair?!

Davis's real name Steven. As stated in some sources.

 

[RescueRanger]

Rehman "Blackwater" Malik is a total retard, every time i see him on TV i cover my face with my palm. Seriously this guy was a fool when he was in the FIA, what makes people think he is going to be any better as top brass in Min. Interior?

What makes me laugh is that he acts like a political ping pong ball. Saying things like:

1) He has a diplomatic Passport
2) He has a Diplomatic Passport but no Diplomatic Visa
3) His Diplomatic status is undecided as yet? Lolwhat
4) He has a non diplomatic Business Visa...

So what is it going to be Mr. Malik, is he a diplomat or not. Stop making our government look bad you fool.

Pak court extends American''s remand over Lahore shooting​

http://ibnlive.in.com/generalnewsfeed/news/pak-court-extends-americans-remand-over-lahore-shooting/563839.html

 

[American Eagle]

Mr. Davis should be freed as the facts prove he both has Diplomati Immunity and that the two who tried to rob him are know by the Police as street robbers with several prior charges, to wit from the Thursday, Feb. 3 KARACHI DAWN:

On the two Pakistanis, police found two pistols, magazine belts and four mobile phones, at least two of which they believe could have been stolen, an officer said on condition of anonymity.

The officer described one of them as a street robber “wanted” in connection with three or four incidents and the other as his accomplice.

This case has been a fiasco and if not quickly ended with Mr. Davis being freed under his entitled Diplomatic Immunity sorely hurts the image and integrity of facts and honesty of the Government of Pakistan.

Ordinary Pakistani emotions driven by threats of terrorist attack against the general public in Lahore are no basis to overlook the facts which say the two men who tried to stick up Davis are known to officials street robbers, pure and simple.

Condolences are of course due to their parents, regardless of their history of crime, but they were crooks doing one successful and one failed, and final, armed robbery the same day last week.

Let's condole the lose of life but remeber that many youths are dying as terrorist suicide bombers and all such young deaths, whether as criminals or as terrorists are a sad loss in a very poor nation which should offer more hope, education, and opportunities to all youths of all levels of society throughout all of Pakistan.
