Alleged Terrorist's Family To Sue U.K. Over His Drone-Strike Assassination
That no-due-process thing is a bitch
The family of a high-ranking Al Qaeda planner killed by a CIA drone strike are to sue the British government for helping to murder him.
Rashid Rauf, a fugitive Briton who played a pivotal role in coordinating the airline bomb plot, was reportedly killed in a U.S missile attack on a Taliban safe house in Pakistan's tribal areas in 2008.
His family is now to launch a legal challenge accusing the Government of being complicit in the murder of one of its own citizens on foreign soil.
