Abud Sarhan is an Iraqi shepherd, who is suing US Army General Franks and Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld after 17 family members were killed during the 2003 invasion of Iraq — two missiles hit his camp near Al-Altash (also killing 200 sheep) on April 4, 2003. The first hearing was held on July 20, in Ramadi; however, no representatives for the Americans showed up. The hearing was reset for August 10, 2003. On August 10, no representative for the Americans showed up; the hearing was reset for August 24, citing the need to allow defense lawyers to gather more evidence. Quotes *Sarhan's lawyer Rabah al-Alwani stated, "We believe they used excessive force." *Sarhan's wounded half-brother Hamad Sarhan stated, "There were no military...only shepherds and their flocks." |
