Karim Khan from North Wazoo, the district on the Afghan border where the US campaign has stepped up in recent months, claimed his house had been hit by US missiles on December 31, 2009. "That dronezap killed my son, my brother and a local man. We are not terrorists, we are common citizens," he told a news conference where he and his lawyer Mirza Shehzad Akbar announced his plan to sue. Akbar said he will file a lawsuit in Pakistain and, if necessary, at the International Court of Justice based in The Hague. |

| #4 Maybe the payoff should be in the form of coinage, and dropped from one of the killer drones; right on ol' Karim Khan's beturbaned head. Just follow the advise of the late Mr. Wiffle: "Don't squeeze the Karim" |
