(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 a disgrace that would be for our people.

Not so!! It's not the physical characteristics, it is the mentality. Muslims are only one of many groups bent on destroying America.

My husband is from Mexico, and he has been a proud citizen for over 15 years. We have many "discussions" with friends regarding what it means to be American. And we always tell them it has nothing to do with birth. It is a culture, and a history. It is a mentality.

We are the only place on earth where anyone from anywhere can become an American. All it takes is a dream. While everywhere else is tied to "birthright", we offer the key to open the door and let them out, if they want it. If they don't, they are like the elephants who can be tied with a piece of string and never attempt to escape.

He had the key in his hand, and choose not to use it. Like Saddam, he chose unwisely.

So please do not allow anyone, inlcuding yourself to feel guilt over his "birthright". I certainly don't.

If it is a US Soldier. I hope the next person this S.O.B. meets is Allah !

[Windcatcher]

Yup. Their editors's brains are working OVERTIME on this one. This will be a spin effort of spectacular proportions. It will be fun to watch. Here is a golden opportunity for FNC to kick them where it really hurts.

[brydic1]

By the morning all news media will have totally deleted any mention of "black and muslim" from his description which I heard from the British reporter who first reported this. We will have been told by the PC crowd that this description was a figment of our imagination.

[Invincibly Ignorant]

What are we doing? Recruiting our soldiers at Louis Farakhan meetings?

[rimmont]

"Peter Jennings spent his evening news report avoiding the issue"

The world view of these leftists can't stand the bright light of day.

[William McKinley]

You are wrong because if every Muslim was as bad as you are making it out, there would no longer be a New York, New Jersey would have been burned to the ground, Michigan would be a war zone, etc. etc. etc.

Is there a problem, a huge monumental problem within segments of the muslim population in the world? Without question. Moreso than in any other population segment? Possibly.

But the majority of muslims, by a large margin, are just regular people. No matter how angry you want to be at assholes like this guy, it doesn't change that fact.

[txradioguy]

I think they are referring to his MOS. A combat engineer. It's their job to blow up enemy obstacles, breach berms, etc. And create minefields, obstacles and the like to slow up the bad guys.

[pipecorp]

So, you are muslim? Welcome to the land of the free.

[Freedom2specul8]

Thanks Wallaby..

[johnb838]

I wish to hell people wouldn't call vermin like this 'Gentlemen'. I hear that all the time and it drives me nucking futs.

[LibKill]

ROPE TIME! Shooting's too good for him.

[CrimeOf73]

Down the memory hole? ;-)

[LdSentinal]

90% of those peaceful Muslims believe Israel was behind the 9-11 attacks, according to Gallup and, yes, even Zogby polls.

[FreeReign]

Those who embrace ISLAM are enemy combatants as far as I am concerned.

A lot of our military operations are based out of Islamic countries -- S.A., Kuwait, UAR, Qatar, Jordan....

[holyscroller]

Re: a court martial and firing squad...if that happens this guy will replace Mumia as the Cause Celeb for the Radical Left. He'll be their new hero.

[Petronski]

Shooting's too good for him.

Yeah, and the rope can be reused.

[teletech]

Oh, no. This guy is to be the poster boy for the evil people like him and their causes represent. I *can't wait* for the anti-war pukes to scream he's a hero. Their self-destruction will be legendary.

The liberal press will have fun with this too. To bad they didn't let this traitor bleed to death from his wounds!

[TJFLSTRAT]

Muslims have no business in American society, as they follow a cult, that expouses murder, or slavery of all who are not Muslim. The term "American Muslim", is an oxymorn.

[Maeve]

But the majority of muslims, by a large margin, are just regular people.

Where do you get this from? "Just regular people"? They hold a world view that will mean the deaths of Jews and Christians in order to establish their damnable worldwide Kaliphate. Wake up while you have the time.
