Muslim-American soldier detained in Kuwait attack 16 troops injured in grenade assault described by Pentagon as 'inside job'

A U.S. soldier being described as a Muslim is now in custody for alleged complicity in the grenade and small-arms attack on members of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division encamped in Northern Kuwait, which injured 16 soldiers, 11 seriously.

In addition, two Kuwaitis who had served a translators are being held for questioning, according to CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann, who is imbedded with the 101st.

Strassmann reported that the grenades were rolled into two commanders' tents. When officers ran from their tents, they were hit by small arms fire, he said.

George Heath, 101st spokesman at home base Fort Campbell, said: "From our reports it appears that a terrorist penetrated Camp Pennsylvania, one or more terrorists threw two hand grenades into a tent."

Calling it a criminal matter and an "inside job," the Pentagon says the U.S. soldier had been missing on base. The soldier implicated was reportedly in charge of grenades, according to MSNBC.

None of the injuries are being called life threatening, and some of the casualties have been air-lifted out of the camp.

Strassmann also reported that an Iraqi rocket fired at U.S. forces in Kuwait was downed by Patriot missiles launched from nearby Camp New Jersey.

Time reporter Jim Lacey told ABC News that he talked to an eyewitness at the rear base camp who said that grenades were rolled into a tents that housed the leaders of the brigadier unit. A terrorist, the witness told Lacey, shot the first two people who exited the tent. Sky News reports that a third grendade was rolled into a third tent housing officers, but that it did not explode.

Camp Pennsylvania was named to honor of the victims of plane that crashed in Pennsylvania during the Sept. 11 attacks. The camp, located approximately 20-30 miles south of the Iraqi border, is surrounded by large berms and guarded by armed soldiers, with others in observation posts watching the desert. The camp is also home to Patriot missile batteries.

The U.S. soldier is currently being questioned, and U.S. authorities are tight-lipped about characterizing his possible involvement.

Stuart Ramsay, a reporter with Sky News, says the Muslim soldier had become a concern to his commanding officers.

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

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.

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

no sh*t?
thanks - never heard o' this!

The last I heard was that Abdurahman Alamoudi, yes the guy that contributed to Hillary, and the guy who Bush invited to the White House many times after 9/11 was the one who picked out the Imans for the armed services.

So, fellow freeper,go blame Bush and his National Secutity Adviser Condi Rice.

This American Alamoudi is related to the Al-Amoudi of the Al-Amoudi Mahfouz conglomerate who funds Bin Laden and the killing of the USS Cole.

All of this is readily available by Googling.

Too bad our government and our beloved leaders are so incompetent!

PC is going to kill us all.

Doesnt this call for a huge investigation of all Muslims in the Forces?

What if a wole lot of them have plans for these kinds of acts?

Why cant politicians of both parties see that sucking votes from enimies wont get them elected, it will get them dead?

[weegee]

As a soldier, intentionally killing fellow soldiers in time of war, MUST qualify for the death penalty, on at least one and probably two or more legal precepts.

Additionally, even nations that haven't enforced the death penalty in a LONG time still reserve it for crimes against the state and severe war crimes.

Deliberate attacks on one's own team are difficult to defend anywhere (although some SF protestors said that they would cheer just that).

[Travis McGee]

It will take a few more fraggings by muslim moles for harsh reality to smack our leaders upsdide the head.

Also consider how damn easy it is to sabotage a helicopter with a tiny time delay fuse screwed into a grenade, for example. "BOOM", and no one the wiser.

[Travis McGee]

Some SF protestors deserve to be shot or hung also.

"THEN BURY HIM FACE DOWN WRAPPED IN A FRESH PIG CARCASS UNDER A TOMBSTOME READING 'TRAITOR'"

I like that tombstone idea.

[John D]

Should we get rid of all the French, German, and Russian soldiers, too?

Is that sarcasm?
There is NO such thing as a French soldier.

Security Clearances will soon have precautions reintroduced which Clinton had removed; add this the Legacy.

[oceanperch]

wow

[patriciaruth]

The puke resposible should be tried and and hanged.

There were times in our history in which summary court martial and execution by firing squad was handled in the field for this sort of thing.

In the age of television and with the Muslim angle, albeit apparently a black Muslim (perverted anti-American Farrakahn type pseudo-Muslim), I have no idea how this will be handled.

I do know that the CIC was all for executing John Walker Lindt if the grounds were found. So, I don't think this fellow has a prayer if they can prove he was involved.

[The Other Harry]

I had a black Muslim in my squad when I went through Ranger School 2 years ago. He is now leading American soldiers in Iraq. I have full faith in his abilities to accomplish his mission and bring his men home alive. I'm not sure where you're coming from on this.

You're right. Hang in there.

"misguided interpretation of his Muslim beliefs"

I'll bet dollars to donuts he doesn't have "Muslim" beliefs; he has Wahabi sect or Farrakhan beliefs, and they are the ones that provided him with the "misguided interpretation." You can be sure he didn't dream them up on his own.

But just as we are facing our adversaries one by one, rather than taking them on all at once, so I think we must think strategically and put off this inevitable confrontation with the Islamic fanatics until we have weakened some of their pillars of support.

[fightinJAG]

It's VERY important that the truth, that this soldier is a muslim, be reported. Otherwise, this attack is incomprehensible.

Without this important fact, people will not be able to understand the implications of this attack, nor the situation our armed forces face.

Nor will they get the fact that, as Dennis Miller says, these islamofascists want to croak us ALL.

[TLBSHOW]

Thanks for the link and background, the enemy is within the military and the Govt!

Islam is incompatible with the concepts of individual freedom and responsibility. It has a hostile view towards outsiders and is therefore NOT able to acclamate to the principles of freedom... equality cannot exist in a mind that sees christians and jews and women and children as something less than fully human, or worthy of life and liberty.

It is an anti freedom religion. It MUST be wiped out before it wipes US out... which is often its stated goal.

These pukes JOINED up to sabotage and sleeper cell us.
Sorry but I don't think they are capable of living here in the uss either. Every time I see a burqa clad woman, I see a slave being drug around by his chains.. it IS the same thing. Only I have to wonder, if that is really a woman, and does she have a nailbomb vest strapped to her for "killing the infidels".

get islam out of the USA.... ...

[fightinJAG]

The article mentioned that the attack was planned before the soldier deployed.

Also note the shootings, which aren't getting very much play. After the grenade attacks, officers ran from the tents and were SHOT.

This definitely was a planned attack, probably with more than one person involved.
