(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.

He signed up seven months ago, and he didn't know who Jim or John Robinson is. Wow.

The aricle from CBS appears to be sanitized now. No mention that he was a Muslim as when you originally posted the article. If someone has already pointed this out my apologies. Here's how it reads now

"Three suspects were being held for questioning: two Kuwaitis who served as translators and an American soldier described as an engineering sergeant."

CBS website (original link) has now purged the "Moslim" ID of the perp.
Heard repeatedly on CNBC Radio (NBC owned) the same original comment, the US Army Sgt, a Moslim, had was captured immediately after the attack, and confessed to his participation. He had wounded himself with one of the exploding grenades and was found with one more (the last of 4 missing) grenade hidden in his gas-mask bag.

So in the heart of the radical Islamic world, 6 in 10 thought this. Quite a bit different than the 9 in 10 here in the US that you claimed. Your proof doesn't make your point, it disproves it.

60% you dope.

One of the American Marines killed when the chopper went down the other day was a muslim convert. I read that his Dad said he was involved with chopper maintenance at one time.

A suicide Jihadi taking out his buddies on the chopper? Where did you read about this convert?

If you do not follow muhammed, you are an infidel, if you are not an infidel, you must follow muhammed. ??? You said you weren't an infidel.

I was like, you mean there are freepers who don't know who he is? LOL

I have no idea, but I'm not really that active a Freeper.

On the other hand, I wouldn't use that many ****'s in a single post either.

Has Johnny Cochran been notified that he has a client?

Of the twenty two or so major conflicts on this planet today, twenty of them involve "Islam". What does that tell you about Islam's ability to peacefully co-exist on this planet?

S.A., Jordan, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait are all islamic countries and are all countries that are contributing to this war effort. Russia, France, germany, Canada... are countries that are not contributing to this war effort.

Question: What does that tell you about non-Islamic countries and their ability to stand up to aggression on this planet?

Answer: Nothing!

I just did that search. I did not find anything to support your assertion that the majority of mosques in the US are Wahabbist and funded by Saudi Arabia.

Since it is "a matter of record", you should be able to find a precise reference. Go ahead.

[LdSentinal]

Your proof doesn't make your point, it disproves it.

Only in your stubborn ideological mind.

We hear about all of the Muslims who abhor terrorist violence but we only hear about them from non-Muslim apologists. One reason Muslims are not more organized and vocal against the violence of their brethren is their own fear of being killed by those brethren. That is a fact confirmed by many fearful Muslims.

Islam is a religion dangerous to non-Muslims. There are centuries of proof. Only politically correct Americans disregard the historical truth in their make-believe fantasy world where everyone sings Kum-Bay-Ya by the campfire. Islam is not a religion of peace. The evidence is overwhelming.

Americans keep having to fight all these overseas wars because we mentally construct a world that does not exist and then regularly suffer terribly for our foolishness.

I do not at all buy into the idea that even one in 10 muslims in the world are fanatics who want to harm you and me.

It may be as high as one in ten. And 80% of the rest will watch you bleed while a good many will ululate with joy.

"Moderate Islam" will be making a joint appearance with the Easter Bunny.

"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"

Needs to be repeated...FREQUENTLY. BUMP!!

Man, am I happy now that I didn't post *my* initial reply to his post ;)

[Petronski]

And he didn't know. And posted that foul garbage....

[Freedom2specul8]

ROFL! It was hilarious! Hopefully, he'll get a second chance...it wasn't his fault.
