(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.

British newsmen were the original reporters of this story. They are not as PC oriented as our newsmedia. Otherwise we probably would never had informed of the soldiers race or religion.

Good point. Worth repeating.

Palestinians have no compunction about telling lies and see truth as irrelevant, the former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak has claimed in an interview. "They are products of a culture in which to tell a lie... creates no dissonance," Mr Barak says. "They don't suffer from the problem of telling lies that exists in Judaeo-Christian culture."

"Truth is seen as an irrelevant category," he says."There is only that which serves your purpose and that which doesn't. They see themselves as emissaries of a national movement for whom everything is permissible. There is no such thing as 'the truth'."

Sounds like the democrat party to me...

[yianni]

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.

They don't want to be "accepted". They want to be American society c/ Sharia replacing the Constitution.

[Pushi]

Speak for yourself. I am not an infidel.

[kaylar]

Haven't seen many white Muslims.

Richard Reid?

Richard Reid the British shoe bomber was the son of a black Jamaiacan and a white British woman.

[William McKinley]

I read what you wrote, and I am challenging you on it. I am sorry if you find that to be inconvenient.

[twntaipan]

McVeigh was an atheist.

[rimmont]

Somehow Richard Reid doesn't look white to me.

[merrin]

You are preaching to the choir, my friend.

Oh, I know that; that's why I posted to you.

I have no interest in getting into a cyber-screaming match with the other contingent.

[hoosier_scientist]

Or maybe we should have rounded up all the white Christian militia types after OKC.

McVeigh was NOT a Christian . . . but don't let the facts get in the way.

[Preech1]

I too noticed the change in the news article...someone is getting PC on all this and erasing the reference or changing it...Hmmm...

[Radix]

How wide of an effing brush can we use?

Muslims suck!

Tell me why and how I am wrong!

I would effing sky write it if I had a pilots license!

[gg188]

Calipso Louie, and the rest of his creepy scum-suckin' gang of terrorist thugs need to be put on a hit list... NOW!

THAT would be the reaction of a sane society that believes in its principles, believes in its right to exist and to survive.

[sinkspur]

You are a very scary person, allowing a small minority to define an entire population in your mind.

Wahabi Muslims should be treated like the Aryan Nation. Exposed. Ridiculed. Condemned. Spat upon.

And, if they're violent, they should be executed.

Violent racists are genocidal and should be removed from civilized society.

[txradioguy]

It's not just in the military where people of the Islamic faith are creating problems. There was an incident in Chicago where a Muslim FBI officer REFUSED to do any surveilence or arrest any of the muslim terror suspects his unit was watching. The President said "either you're with us or you're with the terrorists". These people are making their choice. They look at anyone who's not Muslim as an infadel and not worthy of living. Their intent is to either kill us or convert us. Now tell me again how we're letting a few bad apples define the entire culture? If you look at it, it's a minority of the Islamic community that's brave enough to stand beside us against the majority of the people of their faith.

[MP5SD]

We had a very few muslims in our unit in GW1 and heard at least one say he wouldn't fire on Iraqis. They believe this crap and I think it is a relevant part of the problem. Do you want that guy covering your back?

[Gumption]

Is ten feet of rope more expensive?

Yes it would be, but hanging him would be going to too much trouble, don't you think?

[katze]

No bloomin' idea what Mohammed would do, but I could shoot the son-of-a-bitch myself.

Better yet, hang him by the heels in the desert, use for target practice, careful to avoid hitting vital spots.

[johnb838]

ru kidding? All the in-bedded reporters are going to stick microphones in the soldier's faces and asking how they feeeel

When you put your hand into the puddle of goo that one minute before was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do
