The American, Raymond Davis, is in custody for killing two men on the streets of Lahore.
While Washington has insisted that Raymond Davis shot two men in self-defence, Pakistan has insisted he was an undercover CIA contractor.
The alleged ties to the CIA are likely to inflame the crisis with the United States which has insisted Davis has diplomatic immunity and should be released immediately.
The government in Pakistan is under huge pressure from the political opposition not to cave in to US demands.
Police in Pakistan said they retrieved a Glock pistol, five magazines, 75 bullets, a GPS navigation system, telescope, 19 credit and ATM cards and infra-red headlights from Davis's car after the shooting incident.
