Six US soldiers injured in Kuwait grenade attack: CNN
Six US soldiers have been seriously injured in an apparent "terrorist" grenade attack on US forces camped out in northern Kuwait, a US journalist told CNN.
A US miltary spokesman in Kuwait told AFP he could not confirm all the details of the report.
"We don't know what occurred. Initial reports are that 10 people have been injured," Colonel Rick Thomas said.
The journalist told CNN that two grenades were apparently rolled into a command tent in what seemed to be a "terrorist attack".
He said six soldiers were seriously hurt and that two others were lightly injured.
An American journalist from Time magazine, Jim Lacey, is with the 101st Airborne division - he says the attack was specifically on the headquarters tent.
"I'm at Camp Pennsylvania in northern Kuwait, we have had what appears to be a terrorist attack," he said.
"Right now they are saying and we have a witness who said he saw one of the grenades roll into the tent.
"They have six seriously injured, two maybe three others not so seriously injured, the situation is a bit chaotic, I do not know was injured and according to the rules here we would not be able to tell you anyway.
"The assumption right now is that it was a terrorist attack.
"No one is assuming this is an Iraqi unit, we are quite a ways south of the border, 12 to 20 miles - they saw which way they ran, there are infantrymen forming up to pursue them, but as of yet, no-one has been caught."
