US suspends Pakistan talks in killer diplomat row

Posted Thu Feb 10, 2011 1:31pm AEDT

The US has suspended all high-level bilateral talks with Pakistan over its refusal to grant diplomatic immunity to an American official.

Raymond Davis has been in prison since last month when he admitted to killing two men who he said tried to rob him in the city of Lahore.

Congress is threatening to cut off Pakistan's aid because Davis is a US embassy employee and should be immune from prosecution.

US Congressman Silvestre Reyes says reports that he may have been a spy on an espionage mission are irrelevant.

"I don't know what his job is, but I do know that he had diplomatic status. The issue of what he was doing at the time is not an issue for the government," he said.

"He was accosted by two criminals, known criminals with criminal records. He protected himself."

Raymond Davis row takes a new turn in Pakistan

Protest against Raymond Davis.
In a dramatic twist to the Raymond Davis case, Pakistan is now contesting his status as an American diplomat. Reports coming out in Pakistan media have termed Davis an American spy.

According to investigation reports, Davis has been found in possession of certain photographs of sensitive areas in Lahore. Raymond has been found in possession of pictures of former army fort at Waris Road, Badian border and Wagah border area. He is also said to have captured pictures of Pakistan army installations.

Davis was arrested in Lahore on January 27 after he shot and killed two men who, he claimed, were trying to rob him.

Meanwhile, the issue has even cast a serious shadow over US-Pak ties with Obama administration putting pressure on Pakistan to release Davis.

The US has even stopped dialogue with Pakistan and is even considering halting the billion-dollar aid tap in order to force Islamabad to release the diplomat.

Is American at Center of US-Pakistani Crisis a Diplomat or Spy?

A telescope, photographs of sensitive defense installations and makeup for a facial disguise were found in the car of a former U.S. Special Forces officer after he fatally shot two young Pakistani men from his car, according to reports.

So was Raymond Davis, now at the center of an increasingly tense standoff between the U.S. and Pakistan, an ordinary diplomat assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad or, as some reports out of Pakistan suggest, a spy?

The shooting of the two Pakistanis, which occurred Jan. 27 when Davis was in Lahore, has inflamed anti-American sentiment in Pakistan. The widow of one of the two men, Shumaila Faheem, committed suicide on Sunday by taking poison, Al-Jazeera reported.

Pakistani security officials escort Raymond Davis to a local court in Lahore, Pakistan, on Jan. 28.

It's also led furious U.S. officials to threaten to withhold millions in aid if Davis is not released from detention based on his diplomatic immunity. A video was recently released that contains the audio recording of Davis' interrogation by police after the shooting.

"I just work as a consultant here," Davis says in the audio recording as several excitable male voices talk over him.

U.S. and Pakistani officials give conflicting versions of the confrontation involving Davis, who maintains he was acting in self-defense when he saw two men on motorcycles approach his car. At least one reportedly brandished a weapon.

Pakistani police said Davis fired five shots from his Glock from his car and then got out of the car to finish off the job by shooting both men two times.

U.S. officials said Davis fired only five shots and remained inside his vehicle, The Washington Post reported.

A third Pakistani was run over and killed by a U.S. consulate vehicle that had come to assist Davis, police said.

Both official government accounts agree on at least one thing: The two dead Pakistani men were probably would-be robbers. That fact was based on a report from two Pakistani citizens who came forward after seeing TV coverage of the crime and recognizing the men as having robbed them previously.

But to further complicate the already murky story, The Washington Post quoted an anonymous Pakistani intelligence official who said the motorcyclists were intelligence agents. A spokesman for Pakistan's main intelligence agency denied that Tuesday.

Alternative websites and the blogosphere -- as well as Pakistani media -- are awash in speculation about whether Davis was a diplomat or a spy or mercenary. He was reportedly found to be in possession of pictures of Pakistani army installations.

Counterpunch magazine investigated the company Davis said he works for in the U.S., Hyperion Protective Consultants. The company website gives an address in Orlando, Fla.

Counterpunch said it could find no evidence that Hyperion is a real company.

"First, there is not and never has been any such company located at the 5100 North Lane address," the site reported. "It is only an empty storefront, with empty shelves along one wall and an empty counter on the opposite wall, with just a lone used Coke cup sitting on it. A leasing agency sign is on the window."

The U.S. has stepped up pressure on Pakistan by sending three members of the House of Representatives to meet with Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani. They told him that Congress was working on its budget and looking for areas to cut.

"It is imperative that they release him and there is certainly the possibility that there would be repercussions if they don't," Rep. John Kline, a Republican from Minnesota, told reporters on his return, Agence France-Presse reported.

In the meantime, anti-American protests have been on the rise since the killings, in a country that the U.S. hoped would become a bastion against radical Islam.

US spy network exposed

LAHORE – Even after the Raymond Davis episode exposed the presence of the US spy network actively operating in the terror-hit country, the United States on Tuesday categorically said they would not pull out any security contractor from Pakistan. “We have no plans to withdraw anybody. We are not withdrawing anybody,” said Courtney Beale, spokesperson at the US Embassy in Islamabad while talking to The Nation on Tuesday.
When asked whether the Pakistani government had contacted them to pull out private security contractors, she said they had not heard from the government on the issue.
To another question, she said the US Embassy officials were seriously considering defending Raymond Davis, facing multiple criminal charges, in a local court in Lahore. “Yes, we are looking into how best to represent him in the court,” Courtney added.
Sources said after losing all hopes and asserting pressure on the Pakistani political leaders for the release of Davis, the US had been left with no other option but to face the court to defend its national.
On the other hand, the federal government is preparing to push the United States to wrap up its spy network and withdraw hundreds of undercover agents, operating across the country as private security contractors to guard the US installations and interests.
The Interior and Foreign ministries are working together to find out ways to kick out the undercover agents from the country after properly scrutinising their visas and passports by defining their legal status.
The United Sates had hired hundreds of professionals like Davis from the US-based private security companies and they later were deployed in the major cities including Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad.
The government sources say these undercover US nationals are on visit visas in Pakistan.
According to the US media, the double murder accused Raymond Davis runs Hyperion Protective Consultants, LLC, a company that provides ‘loss and risk management professionals’.
