US suspends 'all high-level dialogue' with Pakistan
#1
Mmmm...seems quite a serious step to take over a Blackwater employee. I wonder where this is leading to? The widow of the man he killed committed suicide the other day. Seems the US wants Pakistan to let them kill their citizens with impunity. And to operate their mercenaries minions where and how ever they like

WASHINGTON: US government has suspended all high-level dialogue with Pakistan over the case of an American detained on murder charges, US and Pakistani officials quoted as saying by a Washington based US daily.

The case of American killer, Raymond Davis, has severely strained relations between the two governments and threatens to scuttle a planned summit among US, Afghan and Pakistani leaders scheduled for the end of this month in Washington, the newspaper reported.

The report said: "Secretary of State Hillary Clinton canceled a meeting last weekend with Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi at an international security conference in Munich to protest Davis' detention, according to officials from both countries who were not authorized to discuss the situation on the record".

"Pakistan's Ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani has also been summoned twice to the White House for formal complaints and demands that Pakistan recognize Davis's diplomatic immunity and release him immediately."

Davis, 36, holds a diplomatic passport and is a member of the "technical and administrative staff" at the US Embassy in Islamabad "entitled to full criminal immunity in accordance with the Vienna Convention," the State Department said Monday.

The administration and Congress, the statement said, "have repeatedly made clear at the highest levels that this matter must be resolved by the Pakistan government or it could impact other bilateral initiatives."
