(CBS) Ten U.S. soldiers were injured, six or seven of them seriously, in a grenade and small arms attack at Camp Pennsylvania in northern Kuwait, reports CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassmann, who is traveling with the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division.

Strassmann said the grenades were rolled into two commanders' tents at the camp. When officers ran from the tents, they were hit by small arms fire.

"From our reports it appears that a terrorist penetrated Camp Pennsylvania, one or more terrorists threw two hand grenades into a tent," said George Heath, spokesman at Fort Campbell, home base of the 101st.

Strassman said three suspects were being held for questioning, two Kuwaitis who served a translators and an American soldier described as a black Muslim.

The injured soldiers were rushed to a field hospital but military officials had no word on their conditions, Lt. Cmdr. Charles Owens said from Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar.

The military did not identify the unit of the 101st that was in the camp but said it had been in Kuwait for about one week. Most of the division has entered southern Iraq.

Separately, Strassmann reported, an Iraqi rocket fired at U.S. forces in Kuwait was destroyed by Patriot missiles launched from nearby Camp New Jersey.

The terror and missile attack came as the U.S. assault on Iraq gained steam. American and British forces besieged the southern city of Basra and pounded Baghdad with impunity. But tough fighting loomed for coalition troops as they pressed deeper into Iraq.

"If this clown is found guilty, he should be executed by firing squad on the spot. Dump his body in the desert for vultures and the ants.bury him with a dead pig. Televise it. Deport his family"

There....fixed it for you. ;- )

Just reported that he was injured by one of the grenades he tossed.
They say he had been acting weird the last few days and that they had been keeping an eye on him. Decisions had been made to keep him out of the way.

I saw a black daddy screaming at the camera that George Bush killed his only son!

[tirednvirginia]

I also pray that your son is safe.

Johnny Jihad aside...there are arguably 1000 times more blacks in the militant muslim movement here thyan whites.

Aside from Jihad I can't think of one....does Everlast count?

[gg188]

I suppose we have a Muslim chaplin with the division to minister to the wounded five-percenter.

This does it for me---we, as a society, have lost our collective mind. In the name of diversity and niceness and white, American guilt, we enlist the ENEMY to join us in our foxholes so he won't think we hate his a$$.

Isn't there some fable in which the snake tricks the boy into allowing the snake to stay warm inside the boy's shirt. The snake assures the boy he won't bite, but guess what...

Why do I sense that as we all type, Jesse is putting on a new suit, applying makeup for the cameras and getting ready for his latest bout of race baiting?

God, please don't let him be black...what a disgrace that would be for our people.

The fact that he is an American is enough for me!

These are two different things. It's possible to be black and a Muslim. Many Africans are. In that case the race hasn't much to do with it. I

But it's also possible to be a Black Muslim. This happens to be a distinct religion that has developed among American blacks. It has some things in common with international Islam, but it's really a separate sect, more different from regular Muslims than a Shiite is different from a Sunni.

Black Muslims are, unfortunately, a peculiarly American problem. The basic roots come not from conversion to Islam but from a 1960's idea that for a black to be a Christian was to accept the religion of the slave masters--therefore they wanted to be something else. Ironically, they imitated Islam (but with a lot of differences). It's ironic because Muslims were far more responsible for slavery than Christians every were.

muslims need to come to the light and convert to the truth!

I agree! Come to the terms of the truth about life. One lives and dies, one lives as long as they can and before they die, wants to have as much contentment and happiness as they can muster, and of course feel worthiness...UNLESS OF COURSE ONE IS BRAINWASHED!

Don't jail him, hold him in a slaughter house made for swine!

[mommadooo3]

The US military/govt has screwed up miserably by allowing muslimes of ANY color in their ranks.

A brief reading of ANY islame/muslime website would have told them(US) that this cult requires that there is NO action taken against their 'own', and if it IS, that they are 'obligated' to do the jihad/fatwa/kill/murder/mutilate.

The only thing a 'terrorist' will understand is a raging boar with a US flag plastered on its side.

"Today he said he reacted in pain. No Apology given, but at least it was understandable."

I don't know how "understandable" it was, but I'd bet the father was prodded by the media to blame the President for maximum effect.

[Born in a Rage]

I saw a black daddy screaming at the camera that George Bush killed his only son!

In all fairness, I remember the father as 'telling' Pres. Bush to take a good hard look at his son...that it was his only son. I don't recall him coming out and saying that Bush "killed him". The father seemed to be on the anti-war side, that's for sure.

[wardaddy]

G-d you are one weak self hating white man/woman.

What happened to you?

Do you need approval that you are nice and fair so badly?

Does it ache...that quest to always be virtuous and self righteous....the truth be damned.

Geez...this forum has been overrun by some soft ass conservatives....right wing extremists my ass...lol

Saying "black Muslim" is akin to saying "white supremacist." It desribes a specific subgroup of persons.

[w1andsodidwe]

Quick call CAIR. A muslem is being discriminated against.
