<p>The CIA has pulled its top spy out of Pakistan after threats were made against his life, according to officials.</p>
<p>A Pakistani lawsuit has accused him by name of killing civilians in missile strikes.</p>
<p>The lawsuit blew the American spy&#8217;s cover, leading to threats against him and forcing the US to call him home, the officials said.</p>
<p>CIA officials&#8217; &#8220;serious concerns&#8221; for the station chief&#8217;s safety led to the decision to bring him home, they said.</p>
<p>The Pakistani lawsuit also named CIA director Leon Panetta and Defence Secretary Robert Gates.</p>
<p>CIA air strikes from unmanned aircraft have killed terrorist leaders but have led to accusations in Pakistan that the strikes have killed innocent people.</p>
<p>The US does not acknowledge the missile strikes, but there have been more than 100 such attacks this year &#8211; more than double the amount in 2009.</p>
<p>The CIA&#8217;s work is unusually difficult in Pakistan, one of the US&#8217;s most important counter-terrorism allies.</p>
<p>The station chief in Islamabad operates as a secret general in the US war against terrorism. He runs the Predator drone programme targeting terrorists, handles some of the CIA&#8217;s most urgent and sensitive tips, and collaborates closely with Pakistan&#8217;s intelligence agency &#8211; one of the most important relationships in the spy world.</p>
