Human rights campaigners condemned a London court's "shameful" decision yesterday to strike down the case of Noor Khan, whose father was killed in a US-led bombing in Pakistan's North Waziristan in 2011.

Mr Khan's lawyers had sought a judicial review of British intelligence agencies' role in the attack.

Malik Daud Khan was one of 50 people believed to have died in the strike, including five police officers and a child.
