A Pakistani man is suing the U.S. government for $500 million over the death of his son and brother, whom he said were killed in a U.S. unmanned drone strike last year, his attorney said.

 

 

Shahzad Akbar, attorney for Kareem Khan, told CNN his client also wants all drone attacks halted. He said he has submitted a legal notice to U.S. officials, including Defense Secretary Robert Gates, CIA Director Leon Panetta and Islamabad's CIA station chief, Jonathan Banks.

Kareem Khan told CNN that an airstrike on December 31, 2009, targeted his home in Machikhel, a village in North Waziristan.
