LAHORE – Akram, the elder brother of Fahim, who was killed along with his friend by a CIA contractor Raymond Davis in Lahore, said they were under no pressure to strike the blood money deal, adding that the US was not directly involved in the deal.
Talking to a private TV channel, Akram said government officials had told them about the pros and cons of continuing with the case and “we took the decision of accepting the money for the sake of Pakistan”.
He declined to answer a question about the involvement of the Punjab government in the case. He said his family had gone into hiding after the deal because of security concerns.
