Order against CIA station chief 'can't be carried out' |
2014-06-08 |
>[DAWN] The Islamabad High Court's recent ruling ordering the registration of an FIR against the CIA's former boss in Islamabad is the latest in a series of embarrassing verdicts that have been handed down due to poor coordination between the federation's counsels and government departments. IHC Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui on Thursday ordered Secretariat police to register a case against former CIA station chief Jonathan Banks and his legal adviser, John A. Rizzo. The order came as the judge disposed of a petition filed by anti-drone activist Karim Khan. A resident of North , Khan lost his son Zahinullah and brother Asif Iqbal in a US drone strike on December 31, 2009. |

#2 "But the matter is not likely to proceed much further because there are no eye-witnesses who can testify that the two US officials are directly responsible for launching the drone strikes," he said. More likely since the Pak military has input into drone zap targets on Pak soil, the target was picked by the Pak military. Wouldn't that be embarrassing to come out in court? |
