 | | Abud Sarhan's lawyer, Rabah al-Alwani, said he was approached by Mr Sarhan, 71, to file a suit against the US Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, and General Tommy Franks, commander of US forces in Iraq, after the shepherd said a US missile landed on his tent on April 4. |
 | | Days before, Mr Sarhan had left his home village of Al-Altash, near an Iraqi military base that was heavily bombed by coalition warplanes. |
 | | He had set up a tent in the nearby desert to host 19 of his family members and relatives in three distinct sections, said his half-brother, Hamad Sarhan, 25, who was wounded in the attack. |
