It wasn’t immediately known who fired the gunshot and why – however, the possibility of sniper fire could not be ruled out.

This murder and similar incidents are proof that "why do rightwing mullah/military alliance opposes the presence of any Americans in Pakistan". When global jihadist can come and roam around who is going to stop the Americans or jihadist hunters for money? It is an all out war among mercenaries of the world. Only full control of Pakistani army can stop this, should they have a desire.
