(CBS) An American soldier is among three suspects being held in connection with a grenade and small-arms attack that injured at least 16 U.S. soldiers at Camp Pennsylvania in northern Kuwait, reports CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassman, who is on the scene with the Army's 101st Airborne Division.

Eleven of the injured were hurt so seriously they had to be choppered out of the camp.

Strassmann said three grenades were rolled into three officers' tents at the camp. When officers ran from the tents, they were hit by small arms fire.

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

The American was found injured and hiding in a bunker. Asked if he was hurt throwing a grenade, Strassman reports the soldier replied, "Yes."

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 attacks on U.S. troops came as the American assault on Iraq gained steam. American and British forces besieged the southern city of Basra and pounded Baghdad with impunity.

Coalition ground forces crossed the Euphrates River and were within 150 miles of the capital. They’re still meeting only light resistance, with many Iraqi troops surrendering or simply leaving the battlefield.

But six divisions of the Republican Guard, Saddam's best and most loyal soldiers, were still in the way.

The only remarkable thing is that they accidentally released the information in the first place. You knew they were going to change the story.

If they could figure out a way to turn John Mohammed into Timothy McVeigh, they'd do that, too.

The scary thing is that I understand this post.

Just did it on the news too. "Described as an engineering student.." No mention that he is a muslim, which seems much more signifant than the fact that he is an engineering student.

You know as well as I do a follower of the Religion Of Peace would NEVER commit an act of violent. And to call him black is to malign the victim status of black people. So let's get all PC now.

LOL!

Most of Saudi Arabia is Wahabi. Most of the 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi. Connect the dots but don't look too hard, Ya might actually see what everyone else knows and will not speak it.

I figure this will prompt a investigation like they did with the prison system in some places. The same crap was happening.

You heard it right


Terrorist Threat in America: Extremist Wave Threatens to Engulf Muslim Americans
A Statement by the Islamic Supreme Council of America

..

Through the " Salafi" /Wahabi sect, the extremist elements have indoctrinated countless Muslim youth: condemning all who differ to unbelief and apostasy from Islam. Thus they justify the wholesale killing of Muslims, and attacking Muslim governments--even their own nations--for they consider whoever does not support them as the worst of enemies, among those who left the fold of Islam.

I hate the media....the reporter in the next tent to the explosions said the military gave them full permission to say that the incident was done by a muslim American, and they promptly buried what he said on CNN. And the coverup continues

[TomServo]

Where does it mention, "student"?

Couldn't find no mention of the word "student" in this article or the article linked.

Louis Farrakhan must be very proud!

[ETERNAL WARMING]

PC at it's finest.

[KansasCanadian]

CNN is running circles around themselves trying to cover this up--disgusting--they would rather blame it on a disgruntled soldier and bismirch the reputation of the fighting man---CNN WHORES

[Atlas Sneezed]

Urgent! Please correct title to say "sergeant", not "student"!

Accuracy counts, and I erred when typing!

You can see the stress on the reporters' and anchors' faces as they shift into major Monica mode. deja vu of 5 years ago.

[reformed_dem]

You can bet that all non-muslim soldiers will be giving muslim soldiers a long, hard look from now and they in turn will be looking over their shoulders.

I don't give a damn about his color.

HANG HIM! Shooting is to honorable for this maggot.

[Bogey78O]

Doublespeak is so wonderful.

[Cold Heat]

One or two here or there, no big deal, but 1,625 could do real damage

This incident will have far reaching affects.

In the military, all your trust, your life and all else depends on trusting your buddy. if this is not so, then nothing, NOTHING will work as intended.

This incident, if based on Muslim hatred, will create a shock wave that will be felt in all units. This is really big.
