The two men gunned down by US national Raymond Davis in Lahore last month were working for ISI which was tailing the American because he was spying and “encroaching on their turf”, according to a media report. The two men were sent to track Davis by the ISI, which believed that he had crossed “a red line” and needed to be followed, four unnamed Pakistani officials were quoted as saying by ABC News. The men Davis shot had been following him for at least two hours and recorded some of his movements on their cell phone cameras, one of the Pakistani officials said.

In late January, Davis was asked to leave an area of Lahore restricted by the military, the officials said. Davis’ cell phone was tracked and some of his calls were made to the Waziristan tribal area, where the Pakistani Taliban and a dozen other militant groups have a safe haven, one official said. Pakistani intelligence officials saw Davis as a threat who was “encroaching on their turf,” the official was quoted as saying.
