NWA admin looking to book CIA chief
[DAWN] Implementing the Islamabad High Court's orders, the capital police have approached the political agent of North Wazoo Agency (NWA) to get a case registered against former station chief, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), police officials told Dawn on Friday.
Haji Abdul Karim from Mirali lodged a complaint with Secretariat police in 2009 seeking registration of a case against former station chief of the CIA Jonathan Banks for killing his son Zaheenullah and a brother Asif Iqbal in a drone strike the same year Mr Banks was CIA station chief in Islamabad at that time.
However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
the police refused to entertain the complaint and in response he filed an application at district and sessions court Islamabad under section 22-A seeking direction for the police to register a case.
After getting orders from the high court the capital police approached their prosecution department to seek legal opinion whether a case can be registered in Islamabad.
The prosecution department replied that under such circumstances the case should be registered in NWA, the officer added.
