capital gains non-U.S. citizen living outside the U.S

I am a non-U.S. citizen living outside the U.S. and I have never lived in the US.
I used to hold shares in the US as part of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan from 2001. I left the company in 2002.
In 2011 the company merged and the shares have been converted into cash. Federal Income Tax Withheld has retained 28% of the value.

Is there any posibility to claim back any of this tax paid? Is this 28% the correct tax? Should I paid this in the US or in my home country ?
