The US military confirmed to me it was on an operation in the village of Shanta Baraako the night two civilians, including one mother died. Madina Hospital verified the death certificate. inthesetimes.com/features/us-mi…
I don't think I have ever seen a man break down until I overly bluntly started questioning Hassan about his sister's death during the US "advise and assist" raid his home. His face fell. He collapsed into sobs. His sister.
Thankful to @inthesetimesmag, the Leonard C. Goodman Institute for Investigative Reporting and most importantly the Khamis family for the support in reporting this piece; this will not be my last.
@inthesetimesmag Some photos from the reporting: Marxuumad Waliyo Cali Qaasim. Flash bangs made by the Pennsylvania-based company Combined Systems. Death certificate from Mogadishu's Madina Hospital verified by the hospital's director who cross checked with the database of patients.
