The herdsmen had gathered with their animals around large fires at night to ward off mosquitoes. But lit up by the flames, they became latest victims of America's war on terror.
It was their tragedy to be misidentified in a secret operation by special forces attempting to kill three top al-Qa'ida leaders in south-ern Somalia.
Oxfam yesterday confirmed at least 70 nomads in the Afmadow district near the border with Kenya had been killed. The nomads were bombed at night and during the day while searching for water sources. Meanwhile, the US ambassador to Kenya has acknowledged that the onslaught on Islamist fighters failed to kill any of the three prime targets wanted for their alleged role in the 1998 US embassy bombings in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam.
The wanted men are Fazul Abdullah Moham-med, Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan and Abu Taha al-Sudani, who were all supposedly sheltered by the Union of Islamic Courts during its short reign in Mogadishu.
The operation, which opened a new front in Washington's anti-terror campaign, seems to have backfired spectacularly in the five days since it was launched. In addition to the scores of Somali civilians killed, the simmering civil war in the failed state has been rekindled.

Bush's team has failed yet again. What an embarrassment! Breeding more terrorists every day. What are the sons of these innocent victims going to want to be when they grow up? What a bunch of clowns!
The other day I tried to frame in a dormer on a roof, but I was holding the drawing upside down and accidently put the floor on top and the roof on the bottom. The customer smiled and said, "Nice try!".
So if we don't try to do anything we suck and if we try we also suck. Allrighty then, just so we know the rules.
Wonder if the day will ever come when some country attacks us to protect their own security? I suppose none of us would agree with that attack, but you would probably be able to offer an objective defense of that country.
More war crimes by our incompetent military leaders, following the leadership of our embarrassment of a President.
Do you even know what a war crime is? Obviously not, you need intent, I guess our "incompetent" military leaders intended to kill thoses people.
Another shot at the military by a liberal or quasi-liberal, whats new and than when you call them on it they deny.

So accidentally killing 70 nomads is okay with you? You set very low standards for our military. I don't. I expect them to be excellent, but then again I expect government to be run at least as a good as a business. While you're willing to forgive the deaths of thousands of civilians, I have high standards. I hope your views are not representative of the standards of excellence in our military. Perhaps our military has declined in that regard under Bush. It certainly appears that way. We can't win anywhere, not even in Afghanistan.
Clinton Bombs:
On August 20, 1998, President Clinton ordered the bombing of a factory in Khartoum, Sudan. The factory, the United States alleged, was making chemical weapons. Even more evil: it was linked to Osama bin Laden.
Of course, then the story unravelled. The factory was making aspirin, not weapons. And the US government quickly abandoned their claims that this dangerous aspirin-making was economically connected to Osama bin Laden. America, however, was undeterred. Coincidentally, the bombs fell just as Monica Lewinsky came before Ken Starr’s grand jury.
The Sudanese government reported that a month after the attack they received a message from the US promising more attacks in the future. It hasn’t happened yet, but when it does, let’s hope the bombs fall on a hospital producing WMD or a residential neighborhood linked to al Qaeda. http://www.bowlingforcolumbine.com/l...rful/sudan.php
