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.

Part of my mis-spent youth was (3 years) in a lab that did contract government work in support of clandstine information gathering and what might be called CIA field activities.
I left with a very negative view of the reasoning capacity of the people financing and directing the work. Some of it made sense, but half or more, did not.
This incident sounds as though some very "wild" guys have been moved up the ladder and given control of some big budgets.
The intelligence work needs the best and brightest but due to its nature, tends to get the dregs through the years. What person in his right mind would really want it?
Or perhaps another 'false flag' operation in the works ala 9/11?
Or maybe David Booth is Sorcha Faal - aka full of shit. http://cryptogon.com/?p=20740

We have a winner!
The secret phrase was "false flag"!
But the real question is this...which city?
Detroit?Sure as hell not DC or NYC.And then tie it in with black Muslim radicals....yeah, Detroit, that's the ticket.
CIA=FAIL
What is is about the word "Frankenstein" don't some people understand?

Miami, duh. They have to be scratching their heads as to what to do with it amid rising sea levels.
from a previous thread this moring...
now you know why Rahm is in Chicago and why he won't be there when the time comes
Only NYC and Chicago possess optimal pizza.Loss of either would be a serious loss!
PS.rahm is evil.
Please please please not Detroit. You know how I feel about Detroit.
I know.But I don't call the shots.
I hope I am wrong.LA perhaps? The suckage would be huge....
Lipo-suckage or just regular suckage?
Nuko-suckage!
It can't be detroit.
It's very important, for psycho-social effect, that the target city be one in which the damage is clearly visible.
Your point is excellent, however, two questions come to mind when discussing this. One, if it is to be a large scale attack (nuclear, biological) I would imagine it wouldn't be in an area that is wholly important to the country. Its effects would be devastating compared to the perceived benefits.
And a question that I haven't seen brought up.....why does the CIA need security? Seems odd no?
Whoa! hey now, are you implying that Detroit already looks like it was hit with a nuke, and so an actual nuclear attack would not be distinguishable from the current state the city is in?
Since I consult in Detroit City, I suspect that the answer is; "Yes."
