(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.

New hero....not in my book, guy needs to be strung up and shot by every soldier stationed there

[glock rocks]

prayers for your son.

FoxNews: Suspect was 'acting wierd' and was not included in movement forward (into battle).

The bastard systematically rolled a grenade into each of three tents: that of the Colonel, the Majors and the Captains.

[Radix]

I can guess what happened. Bored on guard duty, to pass the time he read his little pocket Koran

You are funny too!

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[gcruse]

If he did it, the media better not shrink from reporting that he is a Muslim

Rita Cosby had to drag it out of the SkyNews man just now, but yes, he is a Muslim.
The reporter said he wouldn't have volunteered that because 'it is under
investigation.'

[DoughtyOne]

Let's say we have 1500 men in Iraq that are Moslems. What if five of them flipped out. Would that mean that the 1495 other Moslem's service to our nation was suspect? No, it would mean that 1495 served valiently and five turned out to be worthy of execution.

Look at Johnny Walker. Here was a white guy raised as a Christian who flipped out. Does that mean we should eliminate all white Christians from the armed services?

[CrimeOf73]

CNN studio all squirmed in unison.

That's the sound of their PC belief system colliding with reality.

[gg188]

Ok, that does it. From now on I am going to require that the news media identify me as a "Freeper-American."

[denydenydeny]

The Sky reporter on Fox tells us that the suspect is being pulled to his feet and taken away for medical treatement for his injured leg, and for questioning.

[honway]

I am starting to see a trend here.

Ali Mohamed: The Defendant Who Did Not Go to Trial
Pled guilty to conspiracy in African embassy bombing case

Mohamed, 48, is a former Egyptian intelligence officer who became a United States citizen and a U.S. Army sergeant assigned to a Special Forces unit at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He left the U.S. Army in 1989 and in the early 1990s became involved in the Egyptian Islamic Jihad organization, which also worked with al Qaeda. He then trained fighters in surveillance techniques at al Qaeda camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

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

There are many more non-militant-muslims around, with many more bullets.

[Registered]

Just taken away with gunshot wound to leg in metalized humvee. Confirmed Muslim-American, saying strange things, acting weird, wouldn't be going forward, blah, blah, blah.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Feels like a snap - frankly, they have to be rooted out just like the neo Nazis.

[Petronski]

...nine of which preach the Wahabi form of Islam.

That means four do not. Are they Wahabis anyway? Are there limits to your omnipresence and omniscience?

[dagnabbit]

Open-border immigration and multiculturalism come home to roost.

[mommadooo3]

Although I GREATLY respect your view, mine is a little more 'harshly realistic'. ANY muslime/islame of ANY color does NOT have a place in this war/in this military. Their beliefs do NOT recognize any govt that's NOT 'theirs', and they will not 'attack' those who are 'islame/muslime'.

If it's time for ANYTHING, it's time for the military leaders to turn their backs as certain answers are given. PC has no place in a foxhole/tent/battleline.

[Peach]

We'd better pray it's not part of a pattern. Hope you are well, Kim. It's getting awfully stressful out there; take care of yourself.

[Pushi]

You are right. It is not right for our young men and women (I'm not in the favor of the women) to have to put up with this sort of thing. They should all be out.

[cyborg]

Maybe the poster knew this would turn into a three hundred post thread about about black people and black muslims, and questioning black people's patriotism esp. that father's grief.

There's a difference between a black muslim and a muslim who is black. I deal with black muslims everyday and they're not nice people I can say with certainly. One of them tried to give me the Final Call newspaper. Unfortunately for him I was in the midst of PMS and he got an earful! I haven't seen him since.
