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

Please pray for his family and friends.

The WaPo home page link only says "Soldier Held After Grenade Attack" but the article is about a soldier's death (just checked home page again to make sure).

Also the link has no prominence on the home page-surprising for such a big story. It's almost as if they don't want anyone to find it or look at it.

OTOH, Bob Woodward's "blockbuster" story of how the "War Began Earlier Than Expected" gets the huge font. Go figure.

terrible news ...

[AgentEcho]

They need to report that the UNKNOWN soldier was transferred to Levenworth, when in reality he was shot and burried in an unmarked dune, after his former commrades have a go of this piece of s**t.

WaPo has been out there by itself with this story for the past 90 minutes, which is odd, considering how big the story is. Hope I didn't make a mistake by posting (of course the mistake would be theirs).

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

[CindyDawg]

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

[TLBSHOW]

Islam is the enemy of the world and needs to be banned in America!

[Right_in_Virginia]

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

This is so terrible...words fail me. May God Bless the soul of our lost soldier and comfort his family.

May the United States military bring swift justice to the traitor.

We need to scan the DU for quotes of them glorifying this attack. Then we forward that persons email to the 101'st Unit.

Damn Muslims... GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

[Happy2BMe]

If this is true, the Field Commander has execution authority.

In fact, any rank having executed the mutineer would have been easily acquitted.

Now for the final question: Was the mutineer Muslim?

One of this terrorists victims has passed.

Since this war is being so openly broadcast via the media, it stands to reason that this traitor's execution -- a part of the war -- should also be broadcast by the media.

ATTACK FROM WITHIN

An American soldier, understood to be a Muslim, has carried out a grenade attack on a US military camp, injuring 16 soldiers.

One of the troops has died, American media is reporting.

Three grenades were rolled into three tents housing military leaders of the 101st Airborne Division on Saturday night at Camp Pennsylvania, near the Iraqi border, said Sky correspondent Stuart Ramsay, who is in the base.

The grenade that was lobbed into the first tent, where the commanding officer Colonel Ben Hodges was based, did not go off.

But two other grenades used to attack tents where the unit's majors and captains sleep did explode, injuring Col Hodges.

Ramsay watched as the suspect, an engineer from the 327th infantry assigned to the 101st Airborne Division, was held.

"It appears he was hiding in a bunker near where the attacks happened," Ramsay said. 

"As the man who carried out the attack moved away there was some shooting. He was shot in the leg.

	The grenades were rolled into three tents

He was held on the ground less than 100 yards from where the attack happened."

Ramsay said the soldier had been guarding a grenades depot at the time.

He said fears about the soldier's behaviour had been raised by colleagues.

"In recent days they were concerned about his behaviour and were not going to send him up to the front when the soldiers were going to be deployed."

It is not clear whether the soldier, who Ramsay said would have been in the Gulf for some weeks, had planned the attack before being deployed.

"To be honest we just do not know," Ramsay said.

"Talking to other soldiers, it could be that he was disgruntled. They said he had been acting 'weird' for days."

Eleven soldiers who were seriously hurt were flown out of the camp by helicopter.

British tanks roll into southern Iraq

It was initially thought two Kuwaiti nationals were involved but it quickly became clear it was just one American soldier.

Ramsay said a criminal investigation is now being carried out.

Iraqi soldiers launched a Scud missile attack during the incident, but it is not known whether they are linked. The Scud was shot down by Patriot missile.

Meanwhile, coalition forces are 'half way to Baghdad' but have hit fierce resistance in the desert around the holy town Najaf, 100 miles south of Baghdad.

The Americans claimed to have taken control of Nasiriyah and Umm Qasr in southern Iraq but reports say fighting is continuing in the centre of Basra.

Britain claimed "many thousands" of Iraqis had been taken prisoner but Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon refused to predict how long the conflict would last.

Turkey denied earlier reports that it had sent 1,500 commandos into northern Iraq to confront the Kurds.

Millions of anti-war protesters demonstrated across the world on Saturday.
