(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.

What would Mohammed do?

I sure hope that it is not true.

This would set back the cause for Muslims to be accepted in American Society a long way.

and an American soldier described as a black Muslim.

If true, every Muslim in the armed services should be shipped stateside and discharged.

I'll wait to judge.

This could turn nasty in a hurry.

Chop and lop.

[LADYAK]

Wasn't there a sign that protesters were carrying about soldiers turning and firing on their commanders? Well, we just pray for the 10 wounded in Jesus name.

[Dog Gone]

If this is true, there will be profound implications.

[Terry Mross]

msnbc says soldier has been arrested. Fraggin' idiot. I hope he's executed. He will be tried by a military tribunal, that's a given. And Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton can pitch a bitch.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

And the PC police continue to demand that we cherish every culture. Multiculturalism means one thing, the death of the dominant culure.

[katnip]

Didn't that nutjob John Mohammad (the D.C. sniper Daddy) do the same thing?

He was discharged for it I thought..

[EarlyBird]

Wasn't John Mohammed (DC Sniper) accused of doing this in Desert Storm?

[MinuteGal]

Some astute freepers made the right call on this a while back.

Remember the Muslim FBI agent who wouldn't do a tape tap on another Muslim who was suspect?

American soldier described as a black Muslim.

It was just reported on WTOP radio in DC. They said it was a "Muslim Armey sargeant" but didn't say "black Muslim."
