Mr Khan, who lives in the village of Machi Khel, near North Waziristan's main town of Mir Ali, told the BBC: "My son and brother were killed in a US drone attack on my home.
"Both were civilians and employees of the local government administration. A man who was working at my home was also killed in the attack."
Mr Khan, a freelance journalist, said no foreigner or militant was in his home at the time of the attacks.
"For the past year, I've been knocking on the doors of the local political administration, and the government, but have received no justice," he said.
"Therefore I have now decided to take this legal remedy."
Mr Khan said his lawyer had sent notices to US Defence Secretary Robert Gates, CIA director Leon Panetta and the agency's Islamabad station chief, Jonathan Banks. Full story here.
It's interesting that Gates and Panetta, as well as Hillary Clinton, are complaining about 'illegal activity' by Wikileaks. George Orwell would laugh his head off (although the laughter might be hollow).
Any legal notice sent to Gates might as well go straight in the garbage.
