Islamabad: Three more
Americans, besides US official Raymond Davis who fatally shot two
Pakistanis in Lahore, have been prohibited from going abroad, said
an official.
The government barred the three more US nationals from going out
of the country on allegations that they were in the vehicle that
crushed a man to death in Lahore after Davis was involved in the
shooting, the Express Tribune reported Monday.
Davis was arrested after he shot dead two people riding on a
motorbike at a busy intersection in Lahore Jan 27. He called up
the US consulate after the shooting and a team rushed to help him.
The team's vehicle collided with a motorcyclist, killing him.
The Punjab government has asked the federal government's
assistance in securing the custody of the three Americans who are
accused of running over the motorcyclist.
"The interior ministry has placed the name of the three Americans,
including the driver of the US consulate in Lahore, on the exit
control list," an interior ministry official was quoted as saying.
The list contains names of people who are prohibited from leaving
Pakistan.
The official said that the federal interior ministry, through the
Foreign Office, has written to the US consulate demanding that the
three Americans to be handed over to the Punjab police.
Senator Pervez Rashid, special assistant to tne Punjab chief
minister, said: "We have sought access to get custody of these
accused because they are wanted by the Punjab police in connection
to the Raymond Davis case."
A US embassy official said: "We have not received any such
information on the issue as yet."
