Court frees CIA contractor accused of murder: Rana Sanaullah

ISLAMABAD: A Pakistan court on Wednesday freed CIA contractor Raymond Davis, who was accused of murdering two men in Lahore, after blood money was paid in accordance with sharia law, the Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said.

“The family members of the slain men appeared in the court and independently verified they had pardoned him (Davis),” provincial law minister Rana Sanaullah told a private television.

“He has been released from jail. Now it is up to him. He can go wherever he wants,” he added.

The lawyer representing the victims said he was not allowed to appear for the hearing. The lawyer alleged that Davis possibly escaped from the prison with the consent of the authorities, DawnNews reported.

PML-N spokesman Pervez Rasheed the Punjab government was not involved in the release of Davis, DawnNews reported.

The January shooting sparked a diplomatic row with the United States, who persistently claimed Davis was an embassy employee and enjoyed diplomatic immunity, particularly after it emerged he was working for the CIA.

all is well the ends well.

and this news is more sad for our enemies

If all is well that ends well, why the hype preceding this ? You could have sent him the day he shot the men and said as is well that ends well.

I have no special interest in this news and everybody knew this was going to happen. Only the time for releasing surprised a few.

i think this was the best outcome for both sides. US got it's man after the dust started settling. Pakistan could have charged him for espionage & put him away for good. However they opted for face saving exercise by letting the law take it's course by charging him only for murder. By this time ISI would have grabbed as maximum info from this guy!! there is no winners or losers here!!

Did anyone confirm the minister's story with the family? The U.S. is saying nothing.

Note that because Pakistan never confirmed Davis' diplomatic status there is now no way, because of this settlement, to bring the Davis case before a grand jury in the U.S., let alone to trial.

He was never supposed to have been kept behind bars in Pakistan. The question is, what is the trade-off? What did the 'folks in concern' get to milk out of the entire hoopla?

I would rather say, we are honor-less or bagarait.
Pakistan --- A nation for sale

Saudi Arabia got involved in the case in recent days at the behest of US.

The deal was simple, the families would be paid blood money, they get free trips for Umrah and their other requests will be taken care of.

Recently the US and Pakistani military leadership met in a resort in Oman to discuss certain matters (NW especially), this was one of them even though ISI did not attend the meeting.

The Sauds threatened us on the behest of US and as a 'brotherly' nation, they did the bidding for their master.

Pakistani leadership being the cowards that they are agreed becuase they do not want any economic sanctions or pressure.

The Islamic groups and all these other stooges have been notified of this thus they went silent and you will notice that this case will be brushed aside very quickly.

That is a moot point. Don't forget that Raymond Davis is a "professional".

Nothing like this could have happened without an OK from GHQ.
