  I saw fate whiz back by me
Abud Sarhan, 71, issued lawsuits against US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Tommy Franks, the retired general who led US and British forces into Iraq, over the fatal April 4 bombing.
The shepherd expressed hope that "the law runs its course and that the pilot who bombed the tent is (also) brought to justice and punished," adding that he expected compensation for his damages.
Sarhan told the court he had left his house in Al Altach, a village in the Ramadi district, 100 kilometres west of Baghdad, and relocated to a desert camp on the advice of pamphlets dropped by US planes recommending them to leave the area, the site of heavy bombing because of a nearby military camp.
