Pakistani court set to try CIA operative on double murder charge

There are a lot of evidences, including the eyewitnesses.

Neither the defendant was at the ATM nor was being robbed. Rather, he had stopped at a signal and the two men were on motorcycle in his front. They ran but when the accused starting shooting at them. No evidence of the killed persons' link with Taliban or al-Qaeda has so far emerged and according to family of one of the two, they were returning from a court where case of the murder of one's brother was being heard and they were friends. They were armed but no bullet was found in the chamber of their runs. One needs a license to carry a firearm.

Shooting in self-defense is not illegal but according to investigators and the eyewitnesses, the victims did not try to rob or attack the accused. The incident occurred on a busy road.

It is clearly a murder case because the accused has admitted killing the two but contended that he did it in self-defense. Of course, there may be some understanding between the two governments but obviously CIA has not been granted a license to kill innocent people on busy streets without any provocation. There may also be some other restrictions on movement of the CIA operatives. The circumstances show that the accused crossed all the limits or in other words the red line.

There is no particular granting immunity to a murderer, even if he is a genuine diplomat whereas in this case the man was not a diplomat but an intelligence operative or in other words spy. Moreover, some pictures recovered from the vehicle of the accused give credence to the suspicions that he was involved in terror acts with the militant groups operating in Pakistan. Majority of Pakistani people believe this is the reason that the US is pressing Pakistan hard to release him immediately because the case proceedings and prolonged stay of Davis in Pakistani jail may expose the real face of the United States that is very ugly.

By the way, if Dr Aafia Siddiqui can be jailed for 86 years on the concocted and tailored allegation of trying to kill an American soldier, why can't an American man be convicted despite killing two persons in broad daylight in front of a large number of people?

Hey, There is not only two Nations in the world having rights to shoot in self defense never knowing who it might be on th either side,a true lesson will be given this time to Americans that if u will sentence an innocent women for 86 years on suspicion of killing than we can hang your Davis on not suspicion but on proof of killing not one,not two but three innocents foreign Nationals. 

The above explaination sounds a little more logical of someone who is educated and highly trained CIA or Xe Services individual opening arm fire on two Pakistani for unknown reasons. I doubt it was road rage either.

Considering the current political environment in Pakistan, and the attitudes of many Pakistani about Americans, I could understand other scenarios for why this person may have commited any murders.
