A terrorist attack in northern Kuwait has left 10 American soldiers wounded. The attack occurred at Camp Pennsylvania near the Iraqi border.

Jim Lacey of Time Magazine is reporting that at least 10 have been wounded during a terror attack on a U.S. camp in northern Kuwait. At this point, it appears two grenades were rolled into leadership tents.

Lacey said that six of the men were injured seriously. As he spoke with CNN, gunfire could be heard in the background before the line went dead.

U.S. military officials are reporting that some troops were wounded after the camp of the 101st Airborne Division was attacked with grenades and small arms fire.

The 101st Airborne Division, also known as the Screaming Eagles, are equipped with a fleet of Apache and Black Hawk helicopters. Most of the division has already entered Iraq.

Four other American soldiers were wounded in central Iraq hours earlier. A reporter from Britain's Sky TV said the reconnaissance scouts were ambushed while driving Humvee jeeps at the head of the column.

Lou Dobbs on CNN had Jim Lacey, the Time Magazine Reporter and incident eye witness, on the telephone. Jim was giving a first person account when Lou Dobbs blew him off and hung up so that Lou could get along with his boring recap of the day.

This is a story every news station was trying to info on and Lou Dobbs threw tossed this first person opportunity out the window. Lou Dobbs should be fired for this.
