U.S. & Somali Troops Carry Out Raid That Leaves 10 Dead, Including 3 Children
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Somalia, U.S. soldiers and Somali troops carried out a raid in which
ten people were shot dead, including three children, in a village near
the capital Mogadishu on Friday. Local lawmakers say the victims were
farmers. This is an eyewitness to the attack.

Muqtar Moaalim Abdi: "American forces attacked us in our farms and
killed these people, including children. Those killed were farmers who
were innocent and not al Shabaab fighters."
