US embassy’s demand (III)

Letter January 29, 2011
The shooting incident in Lahore at the hands of an American took place in front of my friend’s shop in Mozang.

ISLAMABAD: The shooting incident in Lahore at the hands of an American took place in front of my friend’s shop in Mozang. I have some questions with regard to this: Why was an American, diplomat they claim, travelling in a car with local number plates and with a semi-automatic pistol? Where is the driver of the jeep which came to Raymond Davis’s rescue? Is he under custody because the vehicle ran over and killed a man on a motorcycle? I am the last person who would support the Taliban or the militants, all I am saying is that shouldn’t the law be allowed to take its course? After all, three people lost their lives.
