KUWAIT (Reuters) - A grenade attack on a command tent of the U.S. 101st Airborne Division in Kuwait wounded at least eight soldiers, six of them seriously, a U.S. journalist with the unit told CNN on Sunday.

The journalist said two grenades had been rolled into the command tent, in what appeared to be a "terrorist attack."
