The heirs of a leading tribal elder, who along with around 50 other people was killed in a US drone attack on March 17, issued a legal notice to the UK government through Foreign Minister William Hague. Malik Noor Khan, son of Malik Daud Khan, issued the legal notice through the Foundation for Fundamental Rights, which is linked to the UK’s Reprieve. During a press conference, Noor flanked by FFR’s Mirza Shehzad Akbar and other tribesmen, recalled that the UK government had earlier confessed its involvement in US drone attacks, therefore, he made the UK government as party. In response to a question, Shehzad said, “There is no or little chance of justice from American courts, therefore, they preferred the UK government for the legal notice.
