American Passports Found on Bodies of Al Qaeda Fighters in Somalia

According to this story from ABC News,

A senior official in the Somali government's new Ministry of the Interior told ABC News government forces had recovered "dozens of foreign passports," including several American passports, on the bodies of al Qaeda fighters killed in combat between forces affiliated with the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) and Ethiopian forces in Somalia.

I'm not sure what this means, really. Are Americans fighting in Ethiopia? Or did Al Qaeda operatives steal U.S. passports?
