Then, last June, 15 members of his extended family were blown to pieces during a funeral procession in his village.
Khan, who was nearby and heard the explosion, alleges the mourners were targeted by pilotless US drone aircraft missiles.

He sits by Khan’s side in a psychiatric section of an Islamabad hospital where he is being treated with antidepressant and anti-psychotic medicines.
