CIA Agent Caught Red-Handed Aiding Pakistani Terrorism?
CNN notes:
News
that the American accused of killing two Pakistani men is a CIA
contractor has intensified an already highly charged situation in
Pakistan.
"Raymond Davis is a CIA Guy," read the headline in the Daily Times newspaper Tuesday.
***
Davis
was jailed January 27 after fatally shooting two men who pulled up to
him on a motorcycle in a bustling Lahore neighborhood.
***
The
36-year-old Davis is a former member of the U.S. Army special forces
and had been employed by security firm XE Services, previously known as
Blackwater.
Davis began working for the CIA nearly four years
ago. He was assigned to Pakistan in late 2009. He was living with other
security personnel at a safehouse in Lahore before the shooting
incident.
On Monday, a U.S. government official also said that Davis was a CIA contractor providing security for CIA officers.
The
U.S. at first falsely claimed that Davis was a diplomat with the State
Department and should therefore be granted diplomatic immunity:
Despite
the revelation of Davis' true line of work, U.S. officials on Monday
renewed their argument that he has diplomatic immunity and must be
released.
***
Before Monday, U.S. officials
had described Davis only as an employee who was attached to the U.S.
Embassy in Islamabad and who was working at the U.S. Consulate in
Lahore at the time of the shootings.
But the deeper story is that Davis allegedly actively aided and abetted terrorism. As CNN notes:
Some newspapers cited unnamed sources to link Davis with "terrorist activity" and the Pakistani Taliban.
"CIA agent Davis had ties with local militants," read the headline in The Express Tribune.
The Tribune quoted an unnamed "senior police official" as saying Davis was suspected in masterminding terrorist activity.
"His
close ties with the TTP (The Pakistani Taliban) were revealed during
the investigations," the paper quoted the police official as saying.
"Davis was instrumental in recruiting young people from Punjab for the
Taliban to fuel the insurgency."
The Star explains:
In
a story published Tuesday, the English-language Express Tribune quoted
a Punjabi police official who said Davis was actually working with the
Pakistani Taliban in a bid to stoke insecurity in Pakistan and support
the argument that its cache of nuclear weapons isn’t safe.Call
records of Davis’s cellphone allegedly establish his link to 27
Taliban militants and a sectarian group known as Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, the
police source said.
Reuters points out
that two other CIA contractors were involved in a fatal car accident
last month while trying to help Davis. Reuters notes, and have now quickly departed
from Pakistan, and notes:
Two U.S. officials confirmed media reports the
two men involved in the fatal accident were working and living in the
same building in Lahore as Davis. They said all three men were working
on similar security assignments for the CIA.
Most dramatically, South Asian news agency ANI reports that - according to Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service - Davis was giving nuclear and biowarfare materials to Al-Qaeda:
Double
murder-accused US official Raymond Davis has been found in possession
of top-secret CIA documents, which point to him or the feared American
Task Force 373 (TF373) operating in the region, providing Al-Qaeda
terrorists with "nuclear fissile material" and "biological agents,"
according to a report.
Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) is
warning that the situation on the sub-continent has turned "grave" as
it appears that open warfare is about to break out between Pakistan and the United States, The European Union Times reports.
The SVR warned in its report that the apprehension of 36-year-old Davis, who shot dead two Pakistani men in Lahore last month, had fuelled this crisis.
According
to the report, the combat skills exhibited by Davis, along with
documentation taken from him after his arrest, prove that he is a
member of US' TF373 black operations unit currently operating in the
Afghan War Theatre and Pakistan's tribal areas, the paper said.
While
the US insists that Davis is one of their diplomats, and the two men
he killed were robbers, Pakistan says that the duo were ISI agents sent
to follow him after it was discovered that he had been making contact
with al Qaeda, after his cell phone was tracked to the Waziristan
tribal area bordering Afghanistan, the paper said.
The most ominous point in this SVR report is "Pakistan's ISI stating
that top-secret CIA documents found in Davis's possession point to his,
and/or TF373, providing to al Qaeda terrorists "nuclear fissile
material" and "biological agents", which they claim are to be used
against the United States itself in order to ignite an all-out war in
order to re-establish the West's hegemony over a Global economy that is
warned is just months away from collapse," the paper added.
However, ANI's allegations are uncorroborated at this time, and it is unknown whether Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service said anything of the sort.
See this, this, this, this and this for background.

The real humour about Hillary's brilliant performance at State comes from Julian Assange who tore down the curtain and exposed her shrill cries to get Ban-ki-Moon's DNA. What a laugh that was! But that seems like a never ending story to match at par the CIA capers...
sombedody said...some newspapers reported unamed sources...honest fact checking unbiased Russian sources said...
Personally, for me a rumour must at least seem believable before I report it even as speculation. Maybe my standards are too high. Anyway, thanks for the analysis GW.
Here's one "False Flag Event" that won't be taking place. I'm sure there are more standing by. There's too much money in this!!!!!!!!!!!
Geez, guys, he's a poor subcontractor. What gringo would be over there without a glock? Heh? I think the real C.I.A. guys blend right in. We have plenty of second and third generation Pakis here who would love to do some false flag shit. Why use a gringo? This is as transparent as that goofy Wikileaks where all the leaks are shit the government wanted in the papers.
Just what is he subcontracting?
Most likely some form of killing. What else would you use a SF guy for? Other than that, I know they are used as glorified bagmen. Nothing changes, Vietnam till now.
What else would you use a SF guy for?
How about security. You know, I hope, that Blackwater/Xe has been contracted---in lieu of actual serving US Military---to provide security for a host of official US overseas posts, from Embassies to construction crews. In addition, Embassy personnel at the US Embassy in Islamabad have received credible death threats from AQ and LeT, threats that were met either by curtailing assignments of threatened personnal or by bringing in additional security.
Nothing nefarious, though you might want to question the waste of paying $250K/year to private contractors when equally skilled regular servicemen make less than a fifth of that.
It's so rare on ZH to see someone suggest that there is an instance in which the government could do something more cheaply and efficiently.
That would require invasion. Just the ticket! We just need a reason to put soldiers there...
i operate on the presumption that Dick Cheney and the CIA had Bhutto in their pocket, and once she was elected she would hand us the keys to Pakistans nuke arsenal. however the plan failed. it would have also made George Bush President for life of the Banana States of America. Now you wonder why we are in Afghanistan, but the real reason is that it allows to keep troops on the Pakistan border. But its part of that fun game Hegemony, in which American military forces occupy the land on both sides of Iran.
forget Bin Laden, the President (or candidate) who gets those birds out can write his or her own ticket.
There was no failure concerning Bhutto. Condi Rice allegedly convinced her to return to Pakistan in order to "fix" it. Then Bhutto's security detail allowed the gunman to walk right up behind the car and shoot her point-blank in the back of the head, and also allowed him to escape into the crowd once the explosions occurred.
Destabilization 101.
fix my ass i saw the woman on television a few years before, talking about a soft policy on the tribal border. she did a 180, (like Obama and like Bush) to support the administrations confrontational policy, and the CIA was running her with something in mind, you fill in the blanks. she hit her head on the limo window, but if you have something to the contrary, please share the links. teh Bush people wanted to disarm as many nuclear powers as possible, and had grandiose ideas of doing an FDR style run at President for life.
Not much new under the sun here. The CIA or elements within it have been up to this nonsense for years. Read "Diary Of An Economic Hit Man" by a former agent who blew a pretty big whistle on some of the stuff they have pulled. Destabilizing a region is their forte and it doesn't require much brain power to understand why. Take Afghanistan. Just this past summer the Pentagon said it just had discovered trillions worth of rare earth metals in the region that boarders China, Hmmmmm. For many, maybe the little light bulb goes on.We seem to hang out in places where US companies can benefit from others natural resources. Ask yourself this. If Kandahar province produces 95% of the worlds poppy's ie: heroine and our government professes to have a war on drugs and by the way we have one of the largest military contingents there, then why haven't we burned the poppy fields down while teaching these sand jockey's how to grow corn and soybeans? Someone must be making a pretty good living supplying the world with Afghan heroine? I wonder who that might be?
We got our asses kicked in Somalia, so Bill Clinton pulled out. Why? Because all there was were a bunch of war lords and a whole lot of sand and not much else. So the next time you hear about some CIA operative getting caught doing something he shouldn't have been doing, what should come to mind first is looking up the meaning of a false flag operation and just who cleaned up on all those shorts on American Air Lines after 9/11?
Read "Diary Of An Economic Hit Man"
+1000
You good Sir are truly the goldstandard of suggested reading!
great post especially on the man with the shorts. To this day, can't believe how this is overlooked.

And they discontinued the investigation because he had no known links to Al Qaeda.
Why don't they use waterboarding when it truly could make a difference?
Yes spot on. I used to work for 'Mad' magazine. My assignment was to find out who ate the most peanut butter in Congress. Awesome exercise. You'd be amazed how much the haloed congregation on Capitol Hill can ingurgitate of the national bread spam.
Judging by your incompetant placement of response... CIA I presume?
We shall dance.
All good spy work requires that coded messages be put in places where only the initiated can find them. So you must be in the loop if you found it.
who cares if gold is going to 36000? This time it really is different!
Foul ole Ron : muzzle the press? No discussion is better than naïve discussion. As the British Raj always taught its disciples on the playing fields of Eton and elsewhere : little knowledge, like double helpings of strawberry jam, is a very dangerous thing. Can't win wars and build/rule empires if you don't take cold baths and do your push-ups without asking questions. Your's to do and die. Sorry, the guy in pakistan. I hope he has his cyanide pill, like jack B.
Student of History obviously... quite an unusual choice of quotes... interesting.
Intelligence background perhaps?
I think I would trust Russian intel and putin over hussein and his CIA.
another conspiracy theory or more conspiracy fact?
i've seen enuf theory become fact in the recent past to give it 80% chance of truth or partial truth
if the national enquirer has it you can take it to the bank
No wonder they have been talking up the dirty bomb angle on MSM as of late.
I try to tell my family & friends that OBAMA is a former C.I.A. agent & they just laugh at me. When will AMERICA wake up ! Maybe someone could comment, would love to know what others think re this OBAMA / C.I.A. connection !
" I've seen the enemy, & it is us . "
I suppose laughing at you is somewhat unkind. Family, at least, should show more compassion.
Did you mean: OSAMA?
Well, I'd laugh too!
There is no such thing as a former agent in a position of power.
His mum and geithner's pa too.
Yep, Bammy and Timmay went to the same CIA diplomatic finishing school in Jakarta:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/03/28/politics/main4899728.shtml
Timothy Franz Geithner's birth certificate reads New York City but he's truly a global production.
With a father who worked abroad for the U.S. Agency for International Development and then the Ford Foundation, Geithner lived in Zambia and Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) as a child. By junior high, he was in India. By high school, he was in Thailand.
As it happens, Geithner's father, Peter, at one point oversaw a program developed by Obama's mother, Ann Dunham Soetoro, when she worked for the Ford Foundation in Indonesia. The two met at least once in Jakarta, according to the foundation.
Shite like this article can actually get onto ZH? Some standards need to be enforced. This completely uncorroborated nonsense piece should be stricken from the record.
"This completely uncorroborated nonsense piece should be stricken from the record."
I disagree, completely.
I think it should be pointed out that the CIA, Mossad or whoever, have in fact, run out of nano-explosive equipped cell phones for their agents due to prior engagements ten years ago...LOL.
Simple enough for even a 9/11MORON to understand.
Thermitic Pyrotechnics in the WTC
Made Simple
Three Points of Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe that Anyone Can UnderstandThe scientific paper Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe provides, quite simply, proof that explosives were used in the destruction of the Twin Towers.
Specifically, the paper positively identifies an advanced engineered pyrotechnic material in each of several samples of dust from the destroyed skyscrapers, in the form of tiny chips having red and gray sides and sharing a very specific three-dimensional structure, chemical composition, and ignition behavior.
The basis and validity of this identification can be grasped quickly by anyone with a working knowledge of physics and chemistry.
They need only read the paper's one-page conclusion, and perhaps its section describing the provenance of the dust samples.

DavidPierre : What is the political implication of this pyrotechnics proof according to you? Those plane attacks were planned by Al-Qaida as officially claimed by Ben Laden and as performed by his team. This is very documented especially the Hamburg unit. Now, are you saying the US administration was :
a) In cahoots with Al-Qaida as a joint venture team, one-off allies in crime, but still ideologically adversaries in 'clash of civilisation' scenario?
b) Benefitting from fore knowledge of this planned attack by AQ, not doing anything to stop it, enhancing its destructive effect by their own special-ops pyrotechnics team having pre-planted their explosives on inside knowledge of upcoming outside attack schedule. To subsequently launch war on terror world wide.
c) Stage managing the whole operation from inside, and then allowing 'crazy BL' to take all the credit as total surrogate. With same world terror game plan in perspective.
I don't see which thesis your are defending.
I'm sorry, I don't trust your link...copy paste here please.
I'm just a moron you see...LOL...so I'll have to do it this way so you can understand me.
What-floor(s)-was-it-planted-on?
How-was-it-detonated?
What-was-it's-primary-ignition-source?
Oh wise one, what will be the price of corn on tuesday?
The nonsense is?
The bigger question is how and why was he caught...
This is the rabbit hole with paydirt.
you better believe the police were given a tip to be on the scene - the ISI expected the hit to go their way and they would want to control the scene afterwards.
americanspirit : you are more mysterious than the indian rope trick, the twirling dervish, the doped hasashin snake-man, the invisible ninja. Make your mystery known to your unknown audience dying to unfathom the unfathomable, bottomless bottom of oriental gotham.
As long as AQ uses whatever it has on a certain city in the east while a certain legislative body is in session - no problem.
Actually, the Enquirer sources it's stories pretty accurately--one heck of a lot better than Pakistani paranoia rags.
If this story hits the Enquirer, maybe it's worth a little bit of attention. Until then, this post is it.
Who needs he Enquirer when you have suppression of real reporatge from the Lamesteam Media...er Ministry of Truth
From Basra, Iraq, 2005
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=990
[snip]:
Fascinating. No really, the ‘evolution’ of state disinformation has probably never been better displayed than in the case of the two (more than likely) SAS soldiers who were ‘liberated’ after being arrested by the Iraqi police on 19 September by a phalanx of tanks and helicopter gunships that stormed the police station where the two undercover soldiers were being held after they allegedly failed to stop at an Iraqi police roadblock and subsequently opened fire on the Iraqi police, killing one and wounding another.
The car they were travelling in was loaded with weapons including allegedly, assault rifles, a light machine gun, an anti-tank weapon, radio gear and a medical kit (’standard’ SAS issue according to the BBC). According to at least two reports, the car they were traveling in (A Toyota Cressida) was “booby-trapped”.
Subsequent accounts vary according to the source but according to the initial story broadcast on the BBC (19/9/05), the two men wore traditional Arab dress but then this changed to “civilian dress” (BBC TV News)
True that... they were all over John Edwards' love child scandal like stink on shit, and long before any of the MSM.
We live in a world of government sponsored/staged terror and it is so unthinkable that people cannot free their minds to believe the truth.
Hmmmm, this CIA guy must be a rogue agent. Let me be clear, Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service has their own agenda of spinning lies to cast America in a bad light. These reports are simple conspiracy rubbish.
I'm sure most people here understand my sarcasm. The average American hasn't got a clue.
Maybe making a little a money on the side, I'm sure "nuclear fissile material" and "biological agents," Could be worth a little cash.
This is a bullshit news story mixing truth and untruth. Being an Indian, I have very carefully followed this case right from inception. The part about Russian intelligence was first published here:
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1448.htm
You can judge the bullshit factor of this website yourself. On the other hand CIA is known to field double agents in the region like David Headley whose wives kept telling US authorities about Mumbai attack planning, but were ignored for some reason.
If the ultimate news source is, in fact, What Does It Mean, then ANI got hoodwinked, and it is B.S. What Does It Mean is a disinfo site.
