EXCLUSIVE: CIA contractor who shot two Pakistani robbers then feared death at the hands of mob breaks silence to tell of real-life Homeland plot which became diplomatic crisis

A CIA contractor, a double killing in a hail of bullets on a crowded Pakistani street and a diplomatic crisis that set US-Pakistan relations back years.

It could easily be the plot line of Homeland - and in fact helped inspire a key incident in the CIA spy drama.

But for Raymond Davis - who shot two men in self-defense on a busy Lahore street on January 25, 2011 - it was a dramatic episode in his life that he's not likely to forget.

Now he is breaking his silence at last in an exclusive DailyMail.com interview. 

Speaking for the first time about the incident that made worldwide headlines and sparked a diplomatic nightmare for the U.S., Davis recounts his 'hell' of being jailed and 'tortured' in a Lahore prison for 49 days and how he was accused of being a spy and interrogated by agents from Pakistan's feared Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency.
