http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/17/world/asia/17pakistan.html?_r=1&pagewanted=2&hpRaymond Davis, 36, who was a contracter for the CIA, shot and killed two Pakistanis who he said tried to rob him on a motorbike during the day. Davis was arrested by the Pakistani police and was held for weeks while negotiations between American and Pakistani officials,took place. And on Wednesday in a six hour session at the jail where Mr. Davis was held, the families of the victims dropped the prosecution in return for compensation, which Pakistani officials and lawyers for the families said amounted to about $2.3 million. However, American officials told Pakistani civilian officials, Pakistan’s military chief, that Congress could decide to hold up more than $3 billion in annual aid to Pakistan if Mr. Davis were not freed. Shortly after Packistani officials released Davis, according to Hillary Clintont he United States did not pay any compensation, however she deflected questions about whether the families had been paid at America’s request. American officials said that it was members of Pakistan’s government who agreed to pay the blood money to the families, and that the American government would reimburse the Pakistani government. If everything turns out as the American government plans, they are hoping this will bring the peace between the C.I.A. and ISI.
