Raymond Davis's Cell Phone Had Calls Placed to Lashkar-e-Jhangvi
Eurasia Review

Pakistani and Indian newspapers are reporting that Raymond Davis, the
CIA contractor in jail in Lahore facing murder charges for the
execution-slayings of two young men believed to by Pakistani
intelligence operatives, was actually involved in organizing terrorist
activities in Pakistan.

    "The Lahore killings were a blessing in disguise for our security
agencies who suspected that Davis was masterminding terrorist
activities in Lahore and other parts of Punjab," a senior official in
the Punjab Police claimed.

    "His close ties with the TTP [the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan] were
revealed during the investigations," he added. "Davis was instrumental
in recruiting young people from Punjab for the Taliban to fuel the
bloody insurgency." Call records of the cellphones recovered from
Davis have established his links with 33 Pakistanis, including 27
militants from the TTP and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi sectarian outfit, sources
said.

The article goes on to explain a motive for why the US, which on the
one hand has been openly pressing Pakistan to move militarily against
Taliban forces in the border regions abutting Afghanistan, would have
a contract agent actively encouraging terrorist acts within Pakistan,
saying:

    Davis was also said to be working on a plan to give credence to
the American notion that Pakistan's nuclear weapons are not safe. For
this purpose, he was setting up a group of the Taliban which would do
his bidding.

According to a report in the Economic Times of India, a review by
police investigators of calls placed by Davis on some of the cell
phones found on his person and in his rented Honda Civic after the
shooting showed calls to 33 Pakistanis, including 27 militants from
the banned Pakistani Taliban, and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, an group
identified as terrorist organization by both the US and Pakistan,
which has been blamed for the assassination of Prime Minister Benazir
Bhutto, and to the brutal slaying of Wall Street Journal reporter
Daniel Pearl.

Meanwhile, while the US continues to claim that Davis was "defending
himself" against two armed robbers, the Associated Press is reporting
that its sources in Pakistan's intelligence agency, the Inter-Service
Intelligence (ISI), are telling them that Davis "knew both men he
killed."

The AP report, which was run in Thursday's Washington Post, claims the
ISI says it "had no idea who Davis was or what he was doing when he
was arrested," that he had contacts in Pakistan's tribal regions, and
that his visa applications contained "bogus references and phone
numbers."

The article quotes a "senior Pakistani intelligence official" as
saying the ISI "fears there are hundreds of CIA contractors presently
operating in Pakistan without the knowledge of the Pakistan government
or the intelligence agency."

In an indication that Pakistan is hardening its stance against caving
to US pressure to spring Davis from jail, the Express Tribune quotes
sources in the Pakistani Foreign Office as saying that the US has been
pressing them to forge backdated documents that would allow the US to
claim that Davis worked for the US Embassy. President Obama, Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton and other top US officials have been trying
to claim Davis was an Embassy employee, and not, as they originally
stated, and as he himself told arresting police officers, just a
contractor working out of the Lahore Consulate. The difference is
critical, since most Embassy employees get blanket immunity for their
activities, while consular employees, under the Vienna Conventions,
only are given immunity for things done during and in the course of
their official duties.

The US had submitted a list of its Embassy workers to the Foreign
Office on Jan. 20, a week before the shooting. That list had 48 names
on it, and Davis was not one of them. A day after the shooting, the
Embassy submitted a "revised" list, claiming rather improbably that it
had "overlooked" Davis. At the time of his arrest, Davis was carrying
a regular passport, not a diplomatic one, though the Consulate in
Lahore rushed over the following day and tried to get police to let
them swap his well-worn regular passport for a shiny new diplomatic
one (they were rebuffed). Davis was also carrying a Department of
Defense contractor ID when he was arrested, further complicating the
picture of who his real employer might be.
