(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.

Why in hell are we using foreign interpreters? We have military language schools that should have trained enuf Arabic speakers by now that we can use overseas.

Exactly,but I would check who his best buddies are.Is this isolated or planned sort of thing.

Reformed Islam????!???!?, with the abundance of Islam needing reform, there would be little Islam left. Better to convert them to Christians, and scrap Islam outright.

I have to take breaks from the puter every few minutes! :)

Well, historically it is BLACKS who have caused all the problems in the country, right? Not Muslims.

So it only stands to reason, using your logic, since we're going to assume that this single person represents EVERY OTHER PERSON in the military, that it should be BLACKS, not simply Muslims, that ought to be discharged.

BTW, last word I heard, the guy wasn't a BLACK Muslim.

Just checked via Google News search, WorldNet has this in their headline Muslim-American soldier detained in Kuwait attack

We need to fight radical Nazism---we need to encourage reformed Nazism.

Makes perfect sense.

Before they kill him, I'm sure many of us here in Pennsylvania would like a crack at him first. Don't worry we won't kill him; we'll just make him cry a bit. :)

It will probably be one of Luis Farrakhan's people. That oiutfit has always worried me with their arms training.

FoxNews is showing a blanketed soldier now sitting on the ground "in distress". Soldier looks Black. Says this is the guy.

What you describe would be even a larger task. Good luck!

What about Marin Johnny, the Muslim freedom fighter in Afganistan?

[Freedom2specul8]

fox news does too! He was sitting like he was wanting to pray..he had a blanket on him..

[bwteim]

Hang him.

If he's guilty, hanging is too quick.

My co-worker's son is in the 101st and my co-worker is surely feeling damn sick right now from worry.
