Hakimullah Mehsud: Imran Khan seeks Nato blockade over killing
Pakistani politician Imran Khan is threatening to blockade supply lines to Nato forces in Afghanistan if the US does not end drone strikes this month.
Mr Khan accused the US of sabotaging peace efforts with the Pakistani Taliban by killing its leader Hakimullah Mehsud last Friday.

He says he will organise protests on routes to and from Afghanistan if drone attacks do not end by 20 November.
Nato convoys through Pakistan carry more than half the food, fuel and other equipment needed by Western troops fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan.
