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.

British intelligence officers who shared information about him with their US counterparts may be judged to have assisted in his murder, or of committing war crimes.

Rauf, 27, a former baker’s boy from Birmingham, was on a CIA ‘High Value Target’ list because of his alleged role as a chief planner for Al Qaeda attacks on the West.

Intelligence services also believe he was the brains behind the July 7 London tube attacks, and that he masterminded the failed 2006 plot to blow up US airliners flying from Heathrow, using liquid bombs.

A close friend of the family, who have always maintained that Rauf had no links with Al Qaeda, told the Sunday Mercury: ‘They want justice for their son who was killed in murky circumstances that amount to cold-blooded murder.

  1. ”Rashid Rauf’s family seeking a declaration by civil courts that intelligence sharing is unlawful”

    This is so glaringly obvious. They wish to deny the right or ability for the west to defend itself against islamic plots and aggression

  2. Deport those whose loyalty to Britain is nought. They can then sue from some Islamic hell hole, without legal aid.

  3. Please do us a favour, CIA, and arrange a drone strike onto whatever expensive house the British taxpayer is funding for these barbarian scum and all of their get to live in. Thanks.

  4. British and American troops have killed and wounded thousands of Afghan men, women and CHILDREN. Its not just the Taliban doing all the killing of civilians is it? Taliban have said she was shot for promoting ‘Western thinking’ Because Taliban thinking is so much more enlightened and attractive. Yes, we have gangs and we have drugs. Sin and depravity, vice and violence. We have whole subcultures with no future, and no hope. But you actively seek to destroy those with hope, and condemn people to have no future. What about the other innocent people shot by US and British soldiers? And those in Palestine? Or is it cruel only when Taliban does it? This girl is being used by the British to keep the unwinnable war in Afghanistan going. Are British troops really dying so that girls can go to school in Afghanistan?

    The expenses will be borne by the government of Pakistan. By the way even if NHS has paid, it will be far less than spent on killing innocents in Afghanistan/Iraq/Libya in a single day!
    I am praying for this brave young lady!! People like her change our world for the better! Sad that so many air thief benefit parasites have felt it was necessary to write negative comments about her using our medical facilities. I feel that never have our Doctor’s and hospitals had the privilege of treating a finer human being! We should all be proud that we can offer help to her!

I can tell you all that Pakistan government is paying for her treatment and further more that this brave daughter of Pakistan will not claim asylum nor her family she will b returning to Pakistan.
    The UK tax payer is not paying for her treatment, the Dubai Govt paid for her transfer and the Pakistani government is paying her medical bills.

  5. This young lady who hopefully has suffered no brain damage might help change the nonsensical Islamic dogma that is the basis for their failed state.
    Pakistan needs a lot more atheist sceptics to dump the Koranus in the bin!
    Are you one of those Iftikar?

  6. Looks like the you have acquired a not so attractive contributor called Sally to your blog Iftikar!
    It’s time to become an apostate and join the civilised world!

  7. This brave lady as usual is either just being used by moslems propaganda or just proved how bad islamisation can turned to.
