Pakistan Releases CIA Contractor After 'Blood Money' Paid -- MSNBC
Case strained relations between U.S. and Pakistan.
ISLAMABAD — An American CIA contractor facing murder charges in Pakistan has been released after the payment of "blood money" to the relatives of the victims, local officials said Wednesday.
Raymond Allen Davis has been in jail since Jan. 27, seriously straining ties between Pakistan and the United States.
“The family members of the slain men appeared in the court and independently verified they had pardoned him,” provincial law minister Rana Sanaullah told private Geo television, the Dawn newspaper reported.
Sanaullah said Davis was released by the court and was free to go where he wanted.
