Pakistan Rejects US Diplomat's Self-Defense Claim VOA News February 11, 2011 Policemen escort an Armored Personal Carrier (APC) transporting U.S national Raymond Davis as he arrives to appear before a court in Lahore, Pakistan, February 11, 2011 Photo: Reu Policemen escort an Armored Personal Carrier (APC) transporting U.S national Raymond Davis as he arrives to appear before a court in Lahore, Pakistan, February 11, 2011 Pakistani police have rejected a detained U.S. diplomat's claim that he acted in self-defense when he shot dead two men last month in the eastern city of Lahore. Lahore police chief Aslam Tareen said Friday the police investigation revealed Raymond Davis committed what the chief called "cold-blooded murder."  Earlier Friday, a Pakistani court ordered the U.S. diplomat to remain in custody for 14 more days. His next court appearance is set for February 25. The U.S. embassy in Pakistan has called for the release of the diplomat, saying Pakistan must comply with its obligations under international and Pakistani law. The U.S. says Davis was acting in self-defense and has diplomatic immunity. Davis was arrested after an alleged robbery attempt by two men on January 27.  A third Pakistani was killed when he was struck by a consulate vehicle that had rushed to the scene of the shooting.  The widow of one of the men Davis shot killed herself early this the week after saying she feared Davis would be released. A Pakistan court ruled last week that police could continue holding Davis for at least eight more days. A U.S. embassy statement said that ruling was made without the diplomat having legal representation or a translator, and that he has been denied due process and a fair hearing. .
