However, his claim could not be proved in police investigations.<br \/>The arrest put the two close allies on collision course after Washington protested that Davis has a diplomatic immunity.<br \/>Government sources say Davis\u2019 released has been arranged after paying a sum of Rs 200 million (2.3 million dollars) to the heirs of the deceased.<br \/>However, one of the prosecution lawyers, Asad Manzoor Butt, claimed that the government officials forced his clients to sign the papers confirming that they had received the blood money.<br \/>Some government sources quoted the blood money as Rs 60 million (0.8 million dollars).<br \/>Another case against Davis, which was lodged for possessing illegal weapons, was also quashed after he paid a fine of Rs 30,000 (400 dollars).<br \/>There are conflicting reports about the families of the dead.<br \/>Neighbors of Faizan (one the deceased) say that his widow, Zehra, has already left for the United States after accepting the blood money and a US passport.<br \/>Similar reports are on rife about two other families, who were not seen by their neighbors for the past three days.<br \/>Sources say that the families have also been provided US passports, which was one of the conditions set by them, because they were worried that they would not be able to bear the public pressure after accepting the blood money.<br \/> \u201cTill half an hour ago, Davis was at Lahore airport. Either he has already flown or about to fly to Washington via Afghanistan\u201d, a senior government official told OnIslam.net, wishing not to be named.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secret Deal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Security and political analysts believe that the release of the CIA agent was secured under a secret deal between intelligence services.<br \/> \u201cThis all has happened after a deal between the ISI and the CIA,\u201d Najam Sethi, a senior security and political analyst, told OnIslam.net.<br \/>Sources say that under the deal, the CIA has agreed not to launch independent intelligence operation on Pakistani soil.<br \/>However, the CIA presence in Pakistan will remain, but will act in collaboration with the ISI.<br \/>The CIA also refused to share the list of its local and foreign informers on Pakistani soil. It only assured Islamabad that its network will not operate without ISI coordination, the sources said.<br \/> \u201cThis could not happen without taking all stakeholders into confidence,\u201d Sethi said.<br \/> \u201cThe army, the ISI, and the Punjab government, all have been working to chalk out a workable formula for release of Raymond Davis.<br \/> \u201cThis is not a shocking news for me.\u201d<br \/>Kamran Khan, a Karachi-based security analyst, agrees.<br \/> \u201cThis is the result of an underhand dealing between the ISI and the CIA,\u201d Khan said.<br \/> \u201cThe US has adopted a right way to resolve the matter. Both the CIA and the ISI knew that they could not work without each other. Therefore they have carved out a legal way to resolve the crisis.\u201d<br \/>Analysts believe that the Pakistani government and the ISI have managed to get some cogent relaxations against the release of the CIA agent.<br \/>\u201cHis release has pissed off many Pakistanis, but it is good in the national interest,\u201d Sethi said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: OnIslam<\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD &#8211;
