Family of Driver Killed With Taliban Leader Mansour Files Case Against U.S.
WSJ ^

Posted on 05/29/2016 6:18:08 PM PDT by BenLurkin

The family of a taxi driver who was killed alongside Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour in a U.S. drone strike has registered a case with Pakistani police against unnamed American officials over the attack.

Mullah Mansour was killed on May 21 in Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan province after he entered the country from Iran. Pakistani officials and family members said he hired the vehicle in the Pakistani border town of Taftan, and driver Muhammad Azam had no links to any militant group.

Mr. Azam’s brother Muhammad Qasim filed the complaint, called a First Information Report, on Wednesday, accusing “U.S. officials” of murder, terrorism and damage to property, Balochistan Police spokesman Shahzada Farhat said.

“My brother was innocent, and very poor. His four children are very young, and he was the family’s sole breadwinner,” Mr. Qasim said in his complaint.

“I seek justice, and legal action against the American entities responsible,” Mr. Qasim said, adding that he didn’t know the names of the U.S. officials behind the drone strike. He said his brother picked up a passenger from Taftan on May 21, who Mr. Qasim later discovered was a person who gave his name as Muhammad Wali.

HEY! Obama has a Nobel peace prize... That wasn’t a terrorist attack, that was a surgical attack with minor collateral damage. Case dismissed!

(More seriously, bad things happen every day. Sorry for his family, but he could have picked another passenger and ended up just as dead. It can be a risky business, being a driver for hire.)

It sounds like the guy was taxi driving in a risky location to begin with. Driving people around who cut other people’s heads off is probably not the most safe profession.

Yesterday, I entertained myself listening to different Pakistan TV analysis on Mullah Mansour and Polio Doctor who is in Jail.
According to all Pakistan ISI and Army analyst, this was not a drone attack. This was US army special ops. Whenever there is a drone attack, we have seen crater and there was no crater only car was burning. Mullah head was missing but rest of body was present. Taxi driver body was in one piece. They was no drone sound during that time. This Taxi came from Iran. Iran attached tracker on that car and gave info to US special ops. This was not even CIA operation.

Regarding Polio Doctor, he is a traitor.
US should give us our money, they can’t attach condition with money. We earned this money. OBL was our George Washington.
