Raymond Davis 'was acting head of CIA in Pakistan' - Telegraph

A US intelligence agent arrested after shooting dead two men was the acting head of the CIA in Pakistan and had been gathering intelligence for drone attacks, according to intelligence sources.

Raymond Davis, a 36-year-old former special forces soldier, had taken command after the CIA station chief's cover was blown, according to reports.

American officials insist he is entitled to diplomatic immunity and that he be released immediately.

Davis has been held for almost a month in a Lahore prison while a court decides his status.

The case has provoked a surge in anti-American hostility and spawned a wave of conspiracy theories.

Many Pakistanis have questioned whether Davis was really the victim of an attempted robbery – as he told police – and exactly why he was driving around Lahore with a Glock handgun in a rented car.

This week it emerged that he was employed by the CIA and that he was engaged in an undercover operation.

On Tuesday The Nation newspaper, which has close links to Pakistan's military establishment, claimed one of his main tasks was to keep the CIA network intact in the tribal agencies, where al-Qaeda-linked militants maintain bases, and that he was familiar with their local languages.

Pakistan authorities say they recovered items including a make-up kit, long-range radio, a GPRS system and a camera containing photographs of sensitive locations.

Telephone records suggest he was in contact with Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and the Pakistan Taliban in South Waziristan.

Even Pakistan's spies say they had no idea what Davis was doing in Lahore.

A senior intelligence source told The Daily Telegraph he was unknown to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence directorate and was operating outside the normal agreements between the two countries.

"We want the US to come clean on what exactly he was up to," he said.

American officials initially said Mr Davis worked for the US consulate in Lahore before claiming he worked for the embassy in Islamabad, and was entitled to full immunity.

However, The New York Times on Monday reported that Davis was part of a CIA operation tracking Islamist extremists in eastern Pakistan, such as Lashkar-e-Taiba, the virulently anti-Indian group blamed for the bloody 2008 siege of Mumbai.

Opposition politicians and relatives of Davis's victims said the government should address suspicions that he also worked for Xe, a US security firm formerly known as Blackwater.

"Davis deserves no pardon ... We knew from day one that he was working for the CIA and Blackwater," said Mohammad Waseem, brother of Mohammad Faheem.

AA: His professional status is independent of the question about his immunity which has yet to be formally established.

[Awesome]

Not for Pakistanis...

Remember there is also a case of defrauding the Pakistani immigration as to his true identity. I think all efforts should be spent on proving that his name is not Raymond Davis and that will bring the entire argument of him having immunity down like a house of cards.

It will be better cached by Google by having all relevant titles separately indexed by Google. Renaming the same thread would create broken links in Google. Also just keeping things interesting for the forum

WSJ and Washington post also stated the same.


and a new development is that davis has staged hunger strike against strict monitoring in jail whereas US embassy people are saying he is not on hunger strike.

[Awesome]

I guess Raymond Davis took over when they snuck Jonathan Banks out and being a newbie at the job, he screwed (from the American perspective) up by opening fire and then getting caught.

That's no issue we can sedate him and give him nourishment intravenously. He should be monitored, sedated, and hopefully strapped in case he tries to commit suicide. He is a big fish now. Its perhaps bigger than arresting Munter .

Soon to be verified by better news agencies than myself:

1. He was CIA
2. He was in contacts with TTP and LeJ
3. The plan was to leak out enough nuclear material to TTP/LeJ to make the entire world **** in their pants, but hopefully restrict TTP/LeJ from actually creating a device.
4. Blame Pakistan, take the nukes out in an overt strike on our facilities or even force our own government to throw in the towel on nukes.

Its not proven right now... But will be.

Fair enough.

#4 would still happen by multiple pathways if that were truly the plan.

The other 3 points have given us much insight to track the multiple pathways
