Pakistani Attorney Files Legal Challenge to Drone Bombings
----------------------------------------------------------



A Pakistani attorney meanwhile has filed a legal challenge seeking to
have the drone attacks prosecuted under international law. The attorney,
M. Tariq Asad, filed the petition to Pakistan’s Supreme Court last week.
Asad wants the Pakistani government to submit a complaint to the World
Court on the drone attack’s killing of hundreds of people in Pakistan.
