\nThe Murders at al-Sukariya<\/a>
\n\"\"
\nOn October 26, 2008, U.S. helicopters stormed a farm near the Iraq-Syria border in order to assassinate leading al-Qaeda operative Abu Ghadiya. One year later, the authors report from Syria that the raid may have been botched, and the lives of seven innocent civilians were mistakenly taken instead.

Shells from the air are tearing out chunks of concrete, punching holes through the cinder blocks as if it were paper. The noise of the guns and motors is deafening. Hamid pulls himself along the rutted ground, peers fearfully over the edge of the bank, and slithers away, taking advantage of a lone tree for cover. He does not understand what is happening.<\/p>\n

Some of the eight soldiers on the ground move forward and take up positions outside the high walls, but they don\u2019t seem to notice him. The hovering helicopters continue firing, tearing up the ground between him and the farm. \u201cI thought it was safe because they didn\u2019t shoot at me,\u201d Hamid says later. After watching for about 15 minutes, he jumps on his bike to escape but, he says, \u201cthat\u2019s when they shot me.\u201d A bullet rips through his right arm, breaking it, mangling the muscles and nerves badly, and knocking him to the ground. Struggling to his feet, he sees the soldiers watching him as they climb into the helicopters and leave. \u201cI was the last one they shot,\u201d he recalls. \u201cNo one was shooting at the soldiers,\u201d Hamid continues with certainty. \u201cNo one was shooting back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"AKRAM

AKRAM HAMID: "I was the last one they shot."<\/p><\/div>\n

…..Larry Johnson, a former C.I.A. analyst …who has spoken to people with knowledge of the raid, says the U.S. was sending a message to the Syrians: \u201cWe\u2019ve told you in the past to stop it. Now we\u2019re serious.\u201d He calls the raid \u201ca Jim Croce incident,\u201d referring to the 1970s singer known for the lyrics \u201cYou don\u2019t tug on Superman\u2019s cape \/ You don\u2019t spit into the wind \/ You don\u2019t pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger \/ And you don\u2019t mess around with Jim.\u201d…<\/p>\n

At dusk, Suad al-Khalf sat on the bare floor of the tent while Hassan ran in and out. The weather was temperate and the sides of the tent flapped lightly. Five construction workers got ready to quit for the day: the foreman, Daud Mohammad Abdullah, and his four sons, Ibrahim, Thiab, Awad, and 16-year-old Faisal. At about 4:30 p.m., Ahmad Raka al-Khalifa, a neighbor, walked over to visit with the workers.<\/p>\n

The men were laughing and relaxing after a hard day\u2019s work when they heard helicopter engines overhead. Laughter turned to surprise, then panic. The helicopters rolled in, according to eyewitnesses, machine guns blazing away, drilling holes in the iron gate and concrete wall closest to the Euphrates. The machine guns and assault rifles fired so rapidly that the muzzles appeared to be shooting flames.<\/p>\n

According to Suad al-Khalf, two helicopters landed inside the walls. (Another witness, Hamid, the mechanic, remembers seeing only one go in.) Dirt was blowing everywhere as soldiers leapt from the bellies of the aircraft. They quickly shot and killed the construction workers and the neighbor. \u201cNo one fired back because no one had weapons,\u201d says al-Khalf, who, unaware of the level of carnage, stayed inside the tent and grabbed her son.<\/p>\n

A U.S. soldier then entered the tent carrying an assault rifle. He looked at al-Khalf and Hassan and walked out. Another soldier followed moments later. He made a palm-down gesture with his hand\u2014the universal signal for \u201cdo not move.\u201d Al-Khalf did not. But the big man with the gun frightened Hassan, and he fled from the tent. Without thinking, his mother followed him outside. It was then that they shot her, and she fell to the ground, like the others lying along the walls……<\/p>\n

Once the copters had pulled out for good, the two men ran into the farm, where they were the first to witness the six dead men, the dead teenage boy, and the seriously wounded Suad al-Khalf. Hassan stood above his mother. The police didn\u2019t arrive for about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recognized them,\u201d Muhammad al-Abed says now, speaking of the dead. \u201cAll of them were workers here. I knew the father personally, but also knew other members of his family.\u201d He doesn\u2019t know if the Americans took any prisoners or bodies with them. With his mother nearby, Hassan later tells us, \u201cThere were many soldiers.\u201d Asked if he knows where his father is, he replies, \u201cHe passed away. The Americans shot him.\u201d….<\/p>\n

The coroner who administered to the victims, Dr. Aysar al-Fara, is a slight, precise man, wearing a nicely tailored, dark-blue Western suit. His mustache and nails are impeccably trimmed. He stares into the middle distance as he begins a ghastly and meticulous chronicle of the deaths. He speaks in a flat, clinical tone that one often expects from people for whom trauma is a way of life. \u201cEach of the dead received between 10 and 15 bullets in the chest area,\u201d he says. \u201cNone received less than 10. Also, each was shot once in the area of the navel.\u201d<\/p>\n

He speculates that they were shot by sharpshooters who were \u201cseeking to snap the spine.\u201d U.S.-military sources contacted later have never heard of such a practice. Special-ops troops are instructed to fire at the head and chest. So the stomach wounds remain a mystery. Dr. al-Fara is absolutely sure, however, that \u201cthe men were shot to be killed, the woman to be wounded.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is time to leave, but we have a last concern about Suad al-Khalf. The doctor who treated her had given her only a 50 percent chance of recovering. But after several operations in Damascus, she survived and returned to her home. When Dr. al-Fara treated her on October 26, she couldn\u2019t explain what had happened. \u201cShe was hallucinating,\u201d says Dr. al-Fara. \u201cShe kept saying, \u2018Go, go, go, go,\u2019 these four words over and over in English.\u201d Those words, we speculate, may have been what the men from the helicopters were shouting as they went about their work…..<\/p>\n

In addition, the U.S. never produced any proof of Ghadiya\u2019s death as it had after the assassinations of other high-ranking figures such as al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Saddam Hussein\u2019s sons, Uday and Qusay. (There are examples, however, in which the U.S. has claimed to have killed terrorists without releasing proof.) There have been no photos, eyewitness accounts, or captured computers, cell phones, or weapons. Furthermore, in a statement few close observers would argue with, Mekdad notes that Syria had nothing to gain from cooperating with groups such as al-Qaeda in Iraq. In fact, Syria has cooperated with the U.S. to combat such jihadist groups because they not only threaten Iraq but also have attacked Syria. Just before the raid, in September 2008, Sunni jihadists detonated a car bomb near a major shrine in Syria, killing 17 people and wounding 14 more….<\/p>\n

Army special-ops consultant Larry Johnson speculates that the U.S. took the terrorist leader\u2019s body out in a helicopter. \u201cIn the case of a high-value target, they would take him back to get a DNA sample,\u201d he says. As for claims by local Syrians to have known all the men, he notes that it wouldn\u2019t be unusual for a terrorist cell to have a cover story…..<\/p>\n

The explanation given by anonymous U.S.-government officials is \u201ctotal bullshit,\u201d exclaims Bob Baer, a C.I.A. field officer in the Middle East for 21 years, whose memoir, See No Evil, served as the basis for the film Syriana. Baer suspects that the intelligence on the raid was botched. \u201cWhere\u2019s the body? Where are the documents or the cell phone? If they brought back an al-Qaeda body, why don\u2019t they have something? There\u2019s no conceivable way they would have killed him and not shown it.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S. actions can be explained easily, according to Syrian political analyst Ahmad al-Dulemi. The Iraqi government forwarded inaccurate information about the al-Sukariya farm to U.S. forces, he argues. The U.S. was acting on faulty intelligence and bungled the raid.<\/p>\n

Baer confirms that U.S.-military actions are currently carried out with far less diligence than in the past. \u201cIt used to be a Delta Force rule that you had to have eyes on your target for 24 hours in advance,\u201d he says. Now \u201cthese raids are done in the dark. Since 9\/11, you can act on fragmentary reports. If the C.I.A. says it got info from Iraqi sources, that\u2019s enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Congressman Nick Rahall, a Democrat from West Virginia who has traveled to the Middle East for 30 years to meet with leaders there, also concludes that the Bush administration mishandled the raid. Syrian civilians \u201clost their lives in an unfortunate attempt by the previous administration to once again mislead, bully, and isolate a regime,\u201d he says in an interview from Washington. Such attacks across borders have a \u201cdisastrous effect on American foreign policy. They alienate civilians. The cowboy diplomacy of the past led America to some of its lowest [public-opinion] ratings around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

At least one Syrian official is convinced that then vice president Dick Cheney and the neoconservative faction in the White House advocated the raid in an effort to derail future U.S.-Syria relations. That might explain Syria\u2019s muted reaction to an attack that was, under international law, an act of war. Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Mekdad says Syria was in no condition to respond militarily against the much stronger U.S. He suggests that the Bush White House was interested in creating a roadblock for its successor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe neocons and their headmaster, Vice President Cheney, wanted to create problems so that a rapprochement between the [Obama] administration and Syria will be made more difficult,\u201d he says. The Syrians decided to take their lumps and bide their time. That calculation may have paid off.<\/p>\n

In 2004, the Bush administration had slapped Syria with economic sanctions and, in 2005, withdrawn its ambassador from Damascus. The Obama administration has taken a different tack, having sent four diplomatic and security missions to Syria and having agreed to re-install an ambassador, although no name or date has been announced.<\/p>\n

The American public may not learn the full details of the al-Sukariya raid for some time, perhaps not until classified U.S.-government documents are released, years in the future. But the Arab world certainly believes the Syrian version of events, which contributes to growing anti-U.S. anger in the region. The perception that the U.S. launches raids and missile attacks without regard for civilian casualties is widespread in the region…..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
