Pakistan says U.S. prisoner Davis has immunity

Pakistan will tell a local court that a U.S. consulate employee jailed after killing two Pakistanis has diplomatic immunity, a top Pakistani official said, a move that will help defuse a diplomatic crisis with Washington.
"We will present all relevant laws and rules about immunity before the court and will plead that prima facie it is a case of diplomatic immunity. But it is for the court to decide," the senior government official told Reuters on Wednesday.
