(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.

I think you forget to mention the posts about OKC, Johnny Taliban, the white protesters with the disgusting sign and other comments.....either that or you and I are reading different threads.

I do not disagree with what you just said. At all.

I don't know about that, but his family are making asses of themselves and do not get my sympathy.

What do you call a moderate Muslim?

A Muslim that has run out of ammo.

How many here think CBS is considering scrubbing the word 'muslim' from the text of its story?

Peter Jennings spent his evening news report avoiding the issue. He seemed to feign techinical difficulties when talking to the correspondent on the scene, and cut him off abruptly to go to a commercial.

The broadcast ended after Peter explained that they would report later on the incident, after the story "solidified."

I know that line.

Patton?

Right?

[DoughtyOne]

I would report the man and expect my superiors to remove him from the armed services.

You mean like treason?

"Wahabi" is the "sect" or whatever you'd call it that Osama belongs (or belonged) to. I don't really see a lot of difference between them and any of the others. I doubt Custer really cared which tribe which injun was from.

ArcLight not a disgrace for our people. Americans are not that short-sighted. This is a lone stupid individual that should be tried in a General Court Martial so he can be given the death penalty. There are thousands of black troopers in the military that have served and continue to serve with distinction.

Now that Wasbi brand of Islam has some shady people involed. That is the kind that is being taught to the people in prison. Give the Army a chance to work this out and be happy the PC police and Sharpton and Jackass wont have anything to do with it.

"No, you messed up. It should be a live pig......and hungry, too."

I was being kind to the pig...personally, I'd like to see him stuffed ALIVE into a pen with a newly farrowed sow...and show the carnage on live TV...or at least TAPE it and send the tape to al Jazeera to broadcast.

You aren't challenging me at all. Your playing with straw men and the most simplistic reading of the Constitution that I have ever heard .

You just don't get that terrorism is "an evil that must be killed in the womb" as Vaclav Havel said. It is a state of affairs that requires action and not the simpering duplicity of your hand-wringing over the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. We make decisions every day as a nation over who can live here and who can't. If we were wise we'd recognize the Fifth Column among us and drive it from our shores.
