LAHORE, Pakistan — An American official appeared in court here on Friday on murder charges in the shooting deaths of two Pakistanis who he said tried to rob him.

The shootings, which occurred on Thursday in midafternoon traffic, could inflame strong anti-American sentiment in Pakistan, a possibility that the Pakistani government acknowledged while saying it would apply the rule of law.

The provincial law minister in Punjab, Rana Sanaullah, said at a news conference that any favoritism toward the official, Raymond A. Davis, 36, would be regarded with suspicion by the Pakistani public.

“Raymond Davis has been charged of murder in the shooting of two motorcyclists while on his way at a congested square of the city,” Mr. Sanaullah said.
