Imran Khan, drone strikes and US immigration Oct 28th 2012, 16:22 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-20108232 Quote: Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan says he has been stopped by US immigration officials and questioned about his views on US drone strikes in his country. He says he was taken off his flight from Toronto to New York on Friday. As leader of the Pakistan Movement for Justice party (PTI), he has campaigned for an end to drone strikes against suspected militants in Pakistan... ..."I was taken off from plane and interrogated by US Immigration in Canada on my views on drones. My stance is known. Drone attacks must stop," he wrote on Twitter. He was said to have been questioned for about one hour, and said the delay meant he missed his flight and a party fundraising event in New York, but said "nothing will change my stance".
