The Taliban took note of the former cricketer&#39;s opposition to US drone strikes against militants, prompting it to offer security assistance. &quot;We are ready to provide them security if they need. We endorse Imran Khan&#39;s plea that drone strikes are against our sovereignty,&quot; a spokesman was quoted as saying. &quot;The anti-drone rallies should have been taken out by the religious leaders long ago but Mr Imran had taken the lead and we wouldn&#39;t harm him or his followers.&quot; Mr Khan said at a press conference that he had been promised the support of local tribes. &quot;We feel no threat from any side but feel threatened by the forces which have been playing politics on this issue,&quot; he said. u00a0
