(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.

Nobody gets to the top of a bureaucratic organization without being a adroit politician .Especially in today's America of Politically Correct Stupidity many believe they must go along in order to have a career.

Muslim American? What the heck is that? In THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, either you are "American," or something LESS than American. This hyphenated PC crap is going to kill us all!

"Seems like he made a small miscalculation. LOL."

Wish I hadn't had to skip over so many posts and missed that, LOL. I did catch one where he/she was yelling at Jim Robinson that all Muslims are evil and thought about clicking on the link to the post the reply was made to. Figgered it was probably a warning, so I didn't 'cause I was in a hurry. I always miss the best stuff.

ABC radio just reported:

"Attack is now a criminal matter, not a terroristic attack"

No mention of the US soldier's race or religious persuasion.

No mention of the US soldier's race or religious persuasion.

You misspelled 'perversion'.

You made excellent points. My son's best friend in high school was a Lebanese immigrant (Muslim). He is now serving in the Air Force. I can remember many nights of sitting around and talking with these two young men about life, commitment and responsibility, and I believe that this young man is a patriot who believes in this country.

Since 9/11, I wonder if anyone has questioned him and ascertained that his adopted country is important to him. I haven't seen him since then, and I don't know if I would ask him about his Muslim faith. As much as I respected him, I can't help but wonder if he has been checked out by the military he serves.

I want to believe that he would understand the need to question him about his allegiances. Even though I knew him well, I would want him to be questioned.

The only true hyphenated Americans are half-wit and half-a** socialistic totalitarians.

"On January 7, 1999...Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kibbani appeared before an open forum at the U.S. State Department entitled "Islamic Extremism: A Viable Threat to U.S. National Security." A panel of State Department officials were present, along with a huge contingent of so-called leaders from the American Muslim community....

 

"Sheikh Kabbani's most controversial assertions of the day were twofold: 80 percent of all mosques and Muslim charitable organizations in the United States had been taken over by "extremists" who did not represent the mainstream community; and Osama bin Laden represented an imminent threat to America, possibly through his attempted acquisition of nuclear weapons. In the audience were other Muslim leaders whom he was branding as extremists, and the meeting ended amid shouting accusations. Afterward, radicalized Muslim organizations immediately charged that he was slandering all Muslims. A consortium of nine Muslim organizations combined to issue a press release condemning his testimony. There were threats to his life. But in the end his warnings proved to be spectacularly prescient. Only after September 11, 2001, did members of the press belatedly realize that there was substance to what Sheikh Kabbani had been saying."
