Kerry Says hopeful of resolving dispute over diplomat


American ----- Sen. John Kerry says he believe there is a "approach forward" to resolving a delicate argument with Pakistan over the arrest of an American diplomat who shot to death two Pakistani men he claims were trying to rob him.

Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman, traveled to Pakistan this week at the request of President Barack Obama. Kerry says there are still "very difficult" legal issues to deal with in the case of Raymond Allen Davis.

Kerry says he discussed his trip and options for resolving the condition with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday. He did not complex.

The U.S. has called for the release of Davis, saying he acted in self-defense in the Janvary.27 shootings and qualifies for political immunity.
