Pakistan bars US diplomat from leaving country - Times of India
Pakistan has prevented a US diplomat involved in a fatal road accident in Islamabad to leave the country, a move that could further strain the bilateral ties.
Pakistani media showed footage of a US plane at Nur Khan airbase in Rawalpindi near Islamabad that reportedly arrived yesterday to fly back defence attache Colonel Joseph Emanuel Hall.
Colonel Hall on April 7 jumped a traffic signal in Islamabad and hit a motorbike carrying two men. One of them was killed. His father had approached the Islamabad High Court to stop the diplomat from leaving the country.
I think that they will probably have to let him go at some point. What happens to disgraced diplomats who act in a criminal way ? They must face justice somewhere.
