Afghans launch legal action over British drone strike as experts suggest British drones heading to Africa

Afghans launch legal action over British drone strike as experts suggest British drones heading to Africa « Drone Wars UK:
 "Lawyers for the family have sent a letter before claim seeking an investigation and requesting disclosure of the RAF’s records relating to the incident. Like the other on-going drone lawsuit – launched by Repreive and Leigh Day & Co. on behalf of the family of Noor Khan – the case is likely to take some time coming to court.  The RAF told The Times that the case had little merit with one source saying dismissively the legal action had “more holes than Edam.”
Meanwhile with David Cameron visiting British forces in Afghanistan and saying ‘mission accomplished’ the UK continues to insist that no decision has been taken with regard to the future of the British Reapers currently based in Afghanistan.  While it is possible (just) that no final decision has been made, it is absolutely  impossible to believe that no plans at all have been drawn up."
