The Story of Raymond Davis 

Davis indicated in his written statement that the incident happened when he was coming from the consulate, although the report from Pakistani police stated that the GPS record showed he was coming from his private residence at Scotch Corner, Upper Mall. Davis stated that after withdrawing cash from aBank cash machine he was driving alone in his white Honda Civic and had stopped at a trafic lightnear Qurtaba Chowk in the Mozang Chungi  area of Lahore when two men pulled alongside him on a motorbike. After one of the young men allegedly brandished a pistol, Davis opened fire and killed both of them with his own 9mm Glock Pistol

The two men were identified as Faizan Haider, 22 years old and Faheem Shamshad (also known as Muhammad Faheem), 26 years old. Davis told police that he acted in  self defense . The police were unable to find any eyewitnesses to support Davis's contention that the deceased men brandished a weapon. Police confirmed that Faheem was carrying a pistol at the time of the shooting. According to the investigative officers, when Davis fired at Faizan and Faheem, they were sitting on their bike in front of his car with their backs towards Davis. Davis shot them through his windshield. After the shooting, Davis is alleged to have exited his car to take pictures and videos of the casualties with his cell phone. There are additional reports that Davis shot five rounds through his windshield, got out of his vehicle and shot four more rounds into the two men as they lay on the pavement The police report notes that both witnesses and Davis reported that Davis fired from behind Haider as Haider was running away.

US Reaction 

WASHINGTON, March 9: A resolution moved in the US House of Representatives urges Pakistan to release Raymond Davis or brace itself for a freeze on all monetary assistance. Congress is scheduled to deliberate on US aid to Pakistan later this month. “The House of Representatives calls on the government of Pakistan to release Raymond Davis in accordance with international standards of diplomatic protocol and, until such time, all US monetary assistance to Pakistan should be frozen,” says the resolution, moved by Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican. The resolution has been referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which is now controlled by the Republicans. “Pakistan must also do more to meet pressing US concerns, including the release of Raymond Davis, our detained American diplomat,” says the committee`s chairperson Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, however, opposes cutting aid to Pakistan, warning that doing so would hurt US interests. The resolution sent to the committee says that Mr Davis was “attacked by two armed men in Lahore” and “killed both men in self-defence”, a point disputed by Pakistani officials. It acknowledges that Mr Davis is a “US veteran and former Special Forces soldier” but does not mention his links to the CIA, already confirmed by the US media. Instead, the resolution recalls that President Barack Obama called Mr Davis “our diplomat” and urged “Pakistan . . . [to recognise] Mr Davis as a diplomat”. It notes that Pakistan is among the world`s leading recipients of US aid, receiving more than $10.7 billion between 2001 and 2010, which included $6 billion in development and humanitarian aid. The resolution also refers to a statement by US Defence Secretary Robert Gates, claiming that “the ISI`s contacts with some extremist groups are a real concern for us”. It recalls that former US commander in Afghanistan General Stanley McChrystal accused “ISI elements of materially aiding insurgent groups that attack coalition forces in Afghanistan”.
