Pak asked US for Aafia-Davis swap: US media
LAHORE: A US television has claimed that the Pakistan government has asked US administration to hand over Dr Aafia Siddiqui in exchange for Raymond Davis, a private TV channel reported on Tuesday. According to the television’s report, the Pakistan government has asked the Obama administration that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) contractor and double murder accused, Raymond Davis, could be released if Pakistani scientist Dr Aafia Siddiqui, detained in the US, is set free. But Washington has turned down Islamabad’s demand, the report adds. “The report quotes a US official as saying that the Pakistan government has, in its demand, asserted that it wanted Dr Siddiqui to complete her remaining sentence in the country,” the channel added. daily times monitor
