CIA man free after blood money deal
An American CIA contractor detained on suspicion of murder was released on Wednesday after families of the two Pakistanis he killed were given “blood money” and the case was dropped, Pakistani officials said.The killings and detention of Raymond Allen Davis had strained ties between Pakistan and the United States and added to anti-America sentiment.Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said Davis was charged with murder Wednesday but then immediately pardoned by the families of the victims in exchange for compensation or “blood money”, as is permitted under Pakistani law. Davis was arrested on Jan. 27 after killing two Pakistanis in what he said was self-defense.Chaudhry Mushtaq, superintendent at Kot Lakhpat jail, said Davis left the jail with U.S. consulate officials after the hearing
U.S. officials were not available for comment.
The United States had insisted that Davis had diplomatic immunity and demanded Pakistan free him immediately.It was reported that just over 1.5 millon was handed over. http://www.france24.com/en/20110316-pakistan-united-states-cia-contractor-walks-free-after-blood-money-deal
So my question is this why is this guy Ramond Davis so god dam important there is plenty speculation about him on the web but what do you think.He served in the US special forces for 10 years before leaving in 2003 to become a security contractor. A senior Pakistani official said he believed Davis had worked with Xe, the firm formerly known as Blackwater..No doubt Raymond Davis is somebody very important because of all the people, the President of United States, himself intervened, demanding that the Pakistan government must release him immediately on the grounds that Davis enjoyed diplomatic immunity
