CAMP NEW JERSEY, Kuwait, March 23 -- One soldier from the 101st Airborne Division was killed and 13 were wounded this morning when two hand grenades were thrown into the 1st Brigade technical operations center at Camp Pennsylvania in central Kuwait, U.S. Army officials said.

A U.S. soldier assigned to the brigade was in custody, the officials said. The soldier who was killed was not idenfitied.

Oh my gosh, I didn't know that a soldier died!

Yeah...this is new. I've read many reports and cannot find the word "Muslim" anywhere, so he must be Muslim.

This is one of the few times that I support the Death Penalty.

[God luvs America]

I remeber seeing this movie on TV as a kid as sort of a school assignment for history, it was very traumatic.

[God luvs America]

BASTARD!!!

[dinok]

I beleive so...UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) can get mid-evil under war conditions.

I heard on FOX earlier that 9 out of the 13 Muslim military chaplains are of the wahabi style Islam of Saudi Arabia and Al Queda.
What is the defence department thinking hiring them?

Will Mr.JAAAACKSUNNNNN come to the rescue?

[floriduh voter]

There are at least three threads here at FR that indicate the perp is a black muslim American soldier. He has a muslim name. Big surprise.

[Gurn]

Round up all "muslims" NOW!!!!!

I've been saying that since 9/11. Been vilified for it on this very forum, too.

I'm telling you people, it's time to round up the pagan towel heads and get them out of this country. Now. Round. Them. Up. Period.

This current grenade attack was even worse than Slovik's desertion and duly needed execution back in WW2, as someone has directly died from this crime.

[texasbluebell]

Fox reported he is a muslim-American. Interesting that there's not a word about that in the WashPost article. Are we going to get a whitewash here?

[CindyDawg]

Are you sure? The last I heard was that none of the injuries were life threatening.

[Kimlee]

Havent heard either, but Fox just said 3 are undergoing surgery at this time.

[Types_with_Fist]

There are at least three threads here...

I know...I've seen a couple. But, the AP, Fox etc., haven't seen the word Muslim. Heard them mention it on the tube (CNN was holding an excuse fest). Just haven't seen the word on the Nets yet (print).

[Gurn]

What is the defence department thinking hiring them?

Better question: why do we allow muslims in our military, and since 9/11, why haven't we begun placing them in camps?

Islam is a cancer, people. Sooner or later, we'll wise up and realize that.

It is a cancer that must be excised from this country.

[Windcatcher]

Wait till the peace lefties start singing his praises. You might not want to eat for the next few days...unless you have a strong stomach.

[F16Fighter]

"This is a death penalty case, isn't it?"

This is the definitive death penalty case in the military.

Let me guess his name. Mohammed Jihad X

[neutrino]

It is a cancer that must be excised from this country.

Well said and true!

[Johnny Crab]

RELIGION OF PEACE(repeat after me)

Intercept Al Jareezer's feed and show this fool get drowned in a pit full of pork guts. Then voice in native language explain that this fate awaits all who offer resistance to our forces.

Any more of this crap and

1) Return ALL Muslim-Americans to the US from over there(Active duty will now consist of various "hated" duties on Parris Island).

2) Possible 2nd use in this country of "camps" for masses profiled.

MAD AS HELL Dad of an active duty no hypens AMERICAN Marine.....

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Maybe they said that none of the injuries were life threatening until the family of the dead could be informed.
