ISLAMABAD: During the National Assembly’s (NA) session on Wednesday, Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif revealed that the United States (US) diplomat accused of killing a motorcyclist in an accident is still in Islamabad.
Upon being questioned by the lawmakers about the status of the case, Asif remarked that the case will be dealt with in accordance to the law and that the US embassy has affirmed cooperation to this end. He added that the investigations are ongoing.
A US Defense and Air Attache Joseph Emanuel Hall had run over a motorcyclist earlier on Saturday, killing one on spot and leaving the other severely injured.
After the accident, the police had taken Hall’s vehicle in custody of Kashar Police Station and filed a case against the diplomat.
Sources confirmed that the diplomat had immunity from being arrested under the Vienna Convention that safeguards Diplomats from local laws.
However, officials expressed concern that the Diplomat might gain assistance in running away thus they wrote to the Interior Ministry for putting Hall’s name on the Exit Control List (ECL).
