[ALOCHONA] American who sparked diplomatic crisis over Lahore shooting was CIA spy

Oh yes, yes, who can know about secret list of CIA Employees that even US States Department of Obama does not know. No references of Daily Guardian. No indication, who wrote that article or a letter to Guardian. No name of informer but since its good for us to believe this, of course this is enough evidence that Davis is a CIA Employee.
Even so, what about International, Pak Law and Shriyah Law that permits shooting in Self Defense. No, no. Because we say he did not kill in Self Defense he has to be hanged despite all the Witnesses and Evidence because we hate Americans. And don't forget USA, Islam is religion of peace, Tolerance, Multi-culturalism and Pluralism.
Allaho Akbar ...!
