(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.

But...I thought Islam was a peaceful religion. What kind of racist is raising the religious card in this war?

"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."
As though it isn't already obvious that Islamic pretenders will NEVER integrate as true American citizenry?? They will NEVER bleed Red, White, and Blue.
If you believe otherwise, I suggest you curtail your kool-ade intake for a while.

The story will fade from tv for sure now! The traitor should be castrated, skinned and lynched in front of all the troops.
To: Petronski
YOU ARE Correct...."black" is NOT relevant. It was just part of the description. And, there are few (very few) white Muslims.)

Well the 'black' is not the lynchpin, but rather the 'muslim' is. Many of our dedicated soldiers are black. Did you see the very tragic picture yesterday of the little boy clutching the picture of his handsome Daddy who died last week in that helicopter accident?
Black has nothing to do with it. Muslim, on the other hand, is something that should make us all take a second look.

CNN says it is a U.S. soldier but that's all they can release right now. In other words, they won't tell us that it's a black Muslim. The reporter is very uncomfortable in his reporting. Aaron Brown says, "I know you know more that you cannot say." The reporter says, "That's right." The reporter is Charles Clover from the Financial Times.

set back the cause for Muslims to be accepted in American Society a long way. Farther than Lee Malvo and John Muhammed?

ABC radio news just mentioned the incident, referred to barbed wire, bomb dogs, camp security, and the outsiders who work in the camp.
NO mention of the supects!
To: Petronski
I'm unclear why 'black' matters
Americans are all racists of course!

If he did it, the media better not shrink from reporting that he is a Muslim....but I am sure they will.

Brace yourself, it's bad. From
CBS:
"Strassman said three suspects were being held for questioning, two Kuwaitis who served a translators and an American soldier described as a black Muslim."
It is no smear against you. It is against terrorists who would infiltrate our country and kill us. I am nothing in common with Timothy McVeigh, and you have nothing in common with this terrorist, either. HE is guilty, let HIM pay for his sins.
