Pakistanis Protest Release of CIA Agent 
----------------------------------------



The strike came as protesters rallied in several Pakistani cities
against the release of a CIA contractor and former Blackwater operative
accused of fatally shooting two men. Raymond Davis was freed after the
victims' relatives accepted a $2.3 million financial settlement under
reported Pakistani government pressure.

Protester: "This decision was a pro-America decision and not
pro-Pakistan. Thus, we are out on the streets, people are out on the
streets. We will demand that the government rid itself of U.S slavery,
get out of the U.S grip and take decisions in favor of the nation."
