See No Evil: The True Story of a Ground Soldier in the CIA's War on Terrorism Behind the scenes of Pakistan Raymond Davis 'spy' saga: "The shooting of two Pakistani men by a US official has ignited a bitter diplomatic row. Amid rumours of blood money and CIA spies, the BBC's M Ilyas Khan went to Lahore to find the victims' case has been adopted by hardline religious and political groups.

On January 27 2011, an American man shot dead two Pakistani men. That much we know.

His name is Raymond Davis - but many in Pakistan question whether that is his real name. The US says he is an embassy official; unnamed US officials have claimed he is a CIA contractor.

The two men he shot were 18-year-old Mohammad Faheem and Faizan Haider, 23. Mr Davis says the men, who were riding a motorcycle, pulled over at his side at a traffic light and pointed a gun at him."
