(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.

muslims need to come to the light and convert to the truth!

I'm familiar with FOI. Please see my 181, as I believe the story is ambiguous.

Like so many photos that incriminate the evil-doers, they were pulled.

Grab them while you can.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Please don't post that again. If I see it again, I'm going to hurt someone. It makes my blood boil.

[U S Army EOD]

Individuals in my unit and myself had to testify as expert witnesses in several court martials on fragings. Most of them were the results of people getting caught involving drugs and were usually rear area units.

[Diogenesis]

BTW, I meant of Farrakan in Iraq.

ArcLight, its not that he is black, its being muslim that creates such hatred.

[cake_crumb]

This is not lookin good for Saddam's buddy, Nation of Islam founder on cruiser on motherships, Louie the Loonie. Coincidence? Doesn't look it.

[wardaddy]

It took a long time for us to become so foolish.

This reminds me of the MooseLimb FBI agent who refused to wear a wire against fellow muslims.

Black patriots needn't worry. Most folks know the difference and the media will be loathe to touch that.

However....it's time NOI and their ilk are exposed for what they are.

I pray none of the injured troopers die.

"Why not every black?"

If they're Muslim, then why not?

[RobRoy]

Having a Muslim in the ranks makes as much sense as having a Nazi in the ranks in 1943.

Soon, we may be forced to "get it."

[dep]

forgive me, but where does the story say that a black muslim had anything at all to do with this?

[briant]

I have never heard a muslim who happens to be black refered to as a black muslim anymore than a christian whould be called a black christian. It, evertime I have seen it used, pertains to a movment.

[boxerblues]

thank you for the prayers...still looking for link that sez the 327 was involved as another poster commented

[P.O.E.]

Whew! Fox news going on an anti-anti-war tirade.

[Atlas Sneezed]

"where does the story say that a black muslim had anything at all to do with this?"

It says that a black muslim is suspected of doing it.

The fastest growing religion among convicted rapists and murderers in the US prison system has been dealt a huge blow.

The reason it is the fastest growing religion among convicted rapists and murderers is that it gives them what they want: permission to continue raping and murdering.

>Stuyding logic 101. If (as you suggest) all muslims are black but we know not all blacks are muslims, then the racial status black IS irrelevant.

Apparently you haven't been doing very well in logic 101. On what planet do you reside? Are you aware of the Nation of Islam? Are you aware of the large number of black converts to Islam in our prisons?

Of course, not all Muslims in this country are black. But the vast majority of American converts to Islam are black. No matter how much you want to deny that, you're full of shit.
