Davis is CIA's chief in Pakistan


Raymond Allen Davis, who killed two Pakistanis last month in the provincial capital, is second-in-comm-and to Jonathan Banks, the former station chief of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Islamabad, sources say. The highly-trained operative Davis was the second most important man of the CIA in Pakistan after ex-station chief Jonathan Banks who ran from Pakistan after his cover was blown. Banks left Islamabad when Karim Khan, a resident of North Waziristan, submitted an application at the Secretariat Police Station, Islamabad for an FIR against the CIA station chief for the killing of Karim’s brother and son in one of the drone attacks directed by the CIA boss in Pakistan.

The sources said that Davis could be called the deputy station chief of the CIA in Pakistan, or the acting station chief. This explains the outrage of USZ over "one man" issue. They said that after Banks left the federal capital, Davis assumed the charge of his office by carrying out all the tasks previously under the domain of his boss, including gathering information for drone attacks. The sources said that one of the main tasks of Davis was to keep CIA network intact in the tribal agencies as well as NWFP. Establishing their point regarding Davis, the sources said that the detained killer of Pakistanis demanded ‘naswar’ in jail, which reflects he visited the NWFP frequently. He also speaks the local languages and has complete information about the cultures being practised in all the provinces.

Seven wounded in Kuwait Clashes


KUWAIT CITY: Around 500 Bedouns gathered in front of Sulaibiya Police Station Saturday to demand for their basic rights and citizenship which they have been deprived due to the overwhelming discrimination. They also demanded the release of those who were arrested in a demonstration in Taima on Friday. Disclosing the gathering was a continuation of the protest action that started in front of Al-Shahbi Mosque in Taima Friday, sources said the protesters called for their civil rights and demanded for the release of those who were arrested earlier.


Sources confirmed a large number of Special Forces were deployed to the area to disperse the protesters and in the process wounded seven of them. Sources added the security officers tried to convince the protesters to disperse on their own yet their calls went unheeded, so they had no option but to use tear gas and smoke bombs. This has prompted the protesters to flee from the scene and some of them took refuge in nearby houses, forcing the residents to run to the streets. The residents then appealed to the security forces to stop using tear gas as some of them, especially the children, had difficulty in breathing.
