The coward and highly frustrated USZ central intelligence agency (CIA) has been forced to call back its top spy in Pakistan after he was accused of killing civilians in unauthorized drone attacks. This comes days after a Pakistani lawsuit designated the CIA station chief by name, accusing him of killing civilians in missile strikes. Kareem Khan, a resident of the North Waziristan tribal district, filed an official complaint with Islamabad police against CIA station chief Jonathan Bank at the US Embassy in Islamabad on Monday. The lawsuit has also named CIA Director Leon Panetta and US Defense Secretary Robert Gates. This is the first such case filed against a CIA official for the use of non-UN-sanctioned drone attacks in Pakistan.
Kareem's relatives were slain in an unauthorized USZ drone attack in the North Waziristan tribal district in 2009. "That drone attack killed my son, my brother and a local man. We are not terrorists, we are common citizens", Khan told a news conference in Islamabad in late November. "According to Islamic law the punishment for blood is blood. If I have the means, I will take revenge for this attack. We need justice. We are innocent people", he said.
Kareem's lawyer Mirza Shehzad Akbar had previously said he would file a lawsuit in Pakistan and, if necessary, one with the International Court of Justice based at The Hague. The CIA station chief in Islamabad runs the unmanned drone attacks which are said to target militants in Pakistan's northwestern tribal belt. Official figures show that most of the victims are civilians. The unauthorized USZ drone attacks have drawn strong criticism from the Pakistani people and officials. In the latest developments, four illegal USZ drone attacks killed at least 26 people in the Khyber Agency tribal region on Friday, 17th December 2010.
The news that CIA has pulled its top spy out of Pakistan comes just a day after the frustrated USZ announced its "new Afghanistan-Pakistan war strategy review" and also a day after America's drone attacks expanded into a new region in Pakistan, Kheybar Agency. It is the second consecutive day that USZ drones target the same region. Meanwhile, hundreds of people held anti-USZ protests in Islamabad over the past days. The Protesters condemned non-UN-sanctioned US drone attacks on Pakistan's tribal areas. USZ drone strikes have killed 2,000 people in northwest Pakistan since 2004. These airstrikes have intensified since USZ President Barack Obama took office in 2009. Militant attacks, unsanctioned drone strikes and political unrest have claimed the lives of over 4,000 people throughout Pakistan since 2007.
