Raymond Davis 'was acting head of CIA in Pakistan'

Source - UK 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.

The wife of one of the men shot has committed suicideon Sunday. Shumaila Kanwal, the widow of Muhammad Faheem, was admitted on Sunday night after swallowing rat poison.

Two CIA contractors spirited out of Pakistan



(Reuters) - Two U.S. citizens with diplomatic status were quietly withdrawn from Pakistan after being involved in a fatal car accident last month while trying to help Raymond Davis, a CIA contractor being held by Pakistani authorities on murder charges.



Two officials familiar with U.S. government activities in Pakistan said the two Americans who left the country worked for the CIA under contract as protective officers. This means they were employed as highly skilled bodyguards, like Davis, for CIA operations officers serving in Pakistan.
