For the past 16 years, he's been the U.S. Now living in Chicago and working as an export consultant, he's among the Ogoni refugees here who have doggedly pursued Shell, contending the oil company works hand-in-glove with the Nigerian military to brutally suppress any opposition to the way the company operates in Nigeria. Among those bringing the lawsuit is a Seventh Day Adventist bishop and the widow of a local leader who was summarily executed. Their suit is based on the Alien Tort Statute, a law enacted in 1789 by the first U.S. Congress and aimed mainly at pirates. The statute says that U.S. trial courts can hear civil damage suits brought by a foreign national for wrongs committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States.

In 2004, the Supreme Court, by a six-to-three vote, upheld the use of the statute against an individual, but only for a limited category of crimes - torture, genocide and crimes against humanity. The court said that in modern times the torturer has become like the pirate and the slave trader of earlier times, an enemy of all mankind. Unresolved, however, was who else could be sued. Can it be more than an individual? Can complicit corporations be held liable too?

The case was brought by the family of Azzam Rahim. He was born on the West Bank and immigrated to the United States in the 1970s, where he became a U.S. citizen. He owned various small businesses in Texas, got married, and had six sons. In 1993, after the Oslo Accords established a Palestinian self-governing authority, Rahim was visiting his home village when an unmarked car with four men pulled up. They identified themselves as police and said they needed him to come identify some stolen jewelry.

The face and body were covered with bruises, the ribs broken. The ambulance driver told the family Rahim had died of a heart attack, but the family says an autopsy showed no heart damage. And a U.S. State Department report classified the death as an extrajudicial killing and confirmed that Rahim died while in the custody of Palestinian Authority intelligence officers. The family sued the Palestinian Authority under the Torture Victim Protection Act, a law that was enacted in 1992 in response to a federal appeals court ruling that gave the PLO immunity from such suits.

Not so much a sect. He is the leader of a militia called the Shabab, which is Arabic for "use," which was established in the late 1990s. Ayro was a young militia leader. He spent time in the Mujadin in Afghanistan. He did not have, as we best understand it, a particularly in depth understanding of Islamism, but was radical in his tactics. He oversaw a small, but very effective, militia which engaged in political assassinations in Somalia. And when the Ethiopians occupied Somalia, in December 2006, Shabab became the leading insurgency force against them. | not so much a sect he is the leader of a militia called the shabab which is arabic for "use" which was established in the late 1990s ayro was a young militia leader he spent time in the. mujadin in afghanistan he did not have as we, best understand it a particularly in, depth understanding of islamism but was radical, in his tactics he oversaw, a small but very effective militia which engaged in. political. assassinations in somalia and when, the; ethiopians occupied somalia in december 2006, shabab became the leading insurgency force against. | Not so much a sect.

The link between Shabab and al-Qaeda is a subject of debate. There are many Somalis who argue that the links are incidental. The American officials argue that they are fairly deep. That a small group of high value targets, as they put it, of east African al-Qaeda cell, these are non-Somalis. A small number, three to five, have been coming and going from Somalia. And have enjoyed protection and safe haven, thanks to the Shabab. | the link between shabab and al-qaeda is a subject of debate there are many somalis who argue that the links are incidental the, american officials argue that they are fairly, deep that a small group of high value targets as they put it of east african al-qaeda cell, these, are non-somalis a small number three to five have been coming and going from. somalia and have enjoyed protection and safe haven thanks to the | The link between Shabab and al-Qaeda is. a subject of debate There are many Somalis who, argue, that the links are incidental The American officials argue that they are fairly deep That a small group of high value targets as they put it of east African al-Qaeda cell, these are non-Somalis A small number three to five have been coming and going from, Somalia And have enjoyed protection and safe haven. thanks to the | the link between shabab and al-qaeda is a subject of debate. there are many somalis who argue that the links are incidental. the american officials argue that they are fairly deep. that a small group of high value targets, as they put it, of east african al-qaeda cell, these are non-somalis. a small number, three to five, have been coming and going from somalia. and have enjoyed protection and safe haven, thanks to the shabab. |

Not that long, and that is what is significant about this. Shabab was not designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. government until last month. Up to that point it was seen as a very dangerous group. It was not a group that the U.S. government was interested in speaking with. It was a group that has had blood on its hands from some international aid-worker s over the years, but mainly it targeted Somalis and the Ethiopian occupation. They had not launched attacks against the U.S. outside Somali borders, so the designation of them as a terrorist group last month was significant. And that was the first time where we see a U.S. attack that appears to be exclusively designed to hit a Somali jihadist, as opposed to past air attacks in Somalia over the past year which were intended to hit these foreign al-Qaeda operatives. | not that long and that is what, is significant about this shabab was not designated as a. terrorist organization by the u.s government until last month up to that point. it was seen as a very dangerous group it was, not a group that the u.s government was interested in speaking with it was a group that has had blood on its hands from some international aid-worker s over the years but mainly it targeted somalis and the, ethiopian, occupation they had not launched attacks against the, u.s outside somali borders so the. designation of them as a terrorist group last month was significant and that was the first time where we see a, u.s attack that appears to be, exclusively designed to, hit a somali jihadist as opposed to past air attacks in somalia over the past. year which were intended to, hit these foreign al-qaeda | Not that long and that is what is significant about this Shabab was not designated as, a terrorist organization by the U.S, government until. last month Up to that point it was seen as a very dangerous group, It was not a. group that the, U.S government was interested in speaking with It was a group that has had. blood on its hands from some international aid-worker s over, the years but mainly, it targeted Somalis and the Ethiopian occupation They had not launched attacks against the U.S. outside Somali, borders so the designation of them as a terrorist group; last month was significant And that was the first time where we see a U.S attack that appears to be exclusively designed to hit a Somali jihadist, as opposed to past air attacks in Somalia over. the. past year, which were intended to. hit these, foreign al-Qaeda | not that long, and that is what is significant about this. shabab was not designated as a terrorist organization by the u.s. government until last month. up to that point it was seen as a very dangerous group. it was not a group that the u.s. government was interested in speaking with. it was a group that has had blood on its hands from some international aid-worker s over the years, but mainly it targeted somalis and the ethiopian occupation. they had not launched attacks against the u.s. outside somali borders, so the designation of them as a terrorist group last month was significant. and that was the first time where we see a u.s. attack that appears to be exclusively designed to hit a somali jihadist, as opposed to past air attacks in somalia over the past year which were intended to hit these foreign al-qaeda operatives. |

I don't know if that's true, or not, because we have had a number of misses in which these attacks, either by AC-130 gunships, or other attacks, have failed to hit intended targets and have killed civilians.

Well, this is what we are all concerned about, is that the timing of this air strike could have all kinds of ripple affect s in a number of directions. And it's likely to cause the moderates in this alliance in the re-liberation of Somalia to pull back from the talks. This is going to have a very polarizing effect inside Somalia. Shabab and Ayro were not loved in Somalia. Most Somalis feared and dreaded their tactics, but Shabab, because they were posing as the main liberation movement against an Ethiopian occupation, had the support of a lot of Somalis. And so this attack is likely to polarize the opposition.
