Rioting in Lahore as U.S. does secret 'blood money' deal with Pakistan
Wife of freed CIA man says 'he is no Rambo'
Risk of backlash against Pakistani government
Brothers of victims previously said no to 'blood money'
There was rioting on the streets of Pakistan tonight after a CIA agent who shot two men dead was released over a secret 'blood money' pact with the U.S.
Raymond Allen Davis has been in jail since January 27, seriously straining ties between Pakistan and America, but was released after the families of the dead were paid $2.3 million to drop the case.
Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah says Davis was charged with murder on Wednesday but was then pardoned by the families of the victims in exchange for the compensation payment.
