| [DAWN] The US diplomat, who reportedly rammed into a cycle of violence, killing one and injuring another on Saturday, will have to face trial, either in Pakistain or his home country. In case the US embassy confirms that the accused has diplomatic immunity against trial here, he could be tried in US courts. Talking to Dawn, a police brass hat said a case was registered for the crime and that there is therefore no doubt that a trial will be conducted. The diplomat has immunity regarding arrest and detention, but not against trial. He said it was up to the US embassy to decide if the trial will be conducted by the local courts or those in his native country. |
