The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been forced to call back its station chief in Islamabad after he was accused of killing civilians in killer drone strikes.
This comes after a Pakistani lawsuit designated the CIA station chief by name, accusing him of killing civilians in missile strikes.
The letter signed by a senior aide to Pakistani politician and cricket star, Imran Khan, asked police in northwestern town of Hangu to name CIA Director John Brennan and a man they identified as the agency's Islamabad station chief as suspects for murder and “waging war against Pakistan.”
Several Pakistani lawyers had previously said they would file a lawsuit against drone killings in Pakistan and, if necessary, one with the International Court of Justice based in The Hague.
