Faisal bin ali Jaber wants answers—and an apology—from the Obama administration for a U.S. drone strike that killed members of his family.

The environmental engineer from Sanaa, Yemen continued his lengthy battle for justice on Wednesday, filing a federal lawsuit (pdf) in Washington, D.C. demanding his “a legal right under FOIA” for the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, Department of State, and Department of the Treasury to provide him with pertinent information about the strike that killed his brother-in-law Salem and his nephew Waleed in 2012.

Thus far, according to human rights organization Reprieve, which is representing Jaber, the agencies have not provided “substantive responses” to FOIA requests related to the killings.

Reprieve points to the contrast between the administration’s treatment of Jaber with that of a 2015 drone strike that killed an American, Warren Weinstein, and an Italian, Giovanni Lo Porto. As Common Dreams previously reported:

The administration has never acknowledged the killings of Jaber’s family members—though he was given “a plastic bag containing $100,000 in sequentially-marked U.S. dollar bills as a condolence payment,” according to Reprieve. In 2015, Jaber filed suit in 2015 seeking only public acknowledgement that the strike was unlawful, later offering to take merely an apology—as Weinstein and Lo Porto’s family were given. The U.S. government declined the settlement offer and requested a court dismiss the suit.

It was dismissed—which led Reprieve to say in a statement: “The ruling would indicate that even the most heinous war crimes by the U.S. government are beyond the reach of the U.S. Courts.”

So Jaber just filed an appeal, and said in a press statement: “For years our family has asked for an apology and an explanation from the U.S. When I travel to America, ordinary Americans always apologize for what happened—it seems the only people who don’t care enough to explain and apologize are the people who did it. I read the President said that the deaths of innocents cause him ‘anguish’—then why will he not account for what happened to my family?”
