KARACHI: This is with reference to your editorial of January 28 titled “A shooting in Lahore” (January 28). The incident raises a few questions. Did Raymond Davis have a licenced pistol and was he authorised to carry it outside the premises of the US Consulate while Section 144 was imposed in Lahore? Did the US Embassy or the Consulate in Lahore inform Pakistani authorities that that their American employees are instructed by them to travel armed?
