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."

"Black muslims should be not be serving in the US Forces."

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.

[Anticommie]

Would we be so tolerant if the war was against a communist nation by having avowed communists serving in our armed forces?

I would say were we that stupid in times of WW2 to have Nazis and Japs in our armed forces?

[wardaddy]

Just got through watching FOX.

Obvioulsy a black Muslim...whether American born or a West African born immigrant I couldn't say.

He is with an engineering attachment with the 101st.

Of the wounded several looked very serious. One has died sadly. Several others seriously wounded.

The perp was striking out at brigade leaders.

One of the wounded was a woman (so much for no women in combat eh?)

He appeared to be striking out in some misguided interpretation of his religious convictions.

ALL THAT ACCORDING TO A TIME REPORTER ON THE SCENE WHO WAS IN THE TENT WITH THE WOMAN WHO WAS INJURED BY FRAGMENTS>

Having these loons in our combat units is idiocy...PC run amok as usual as costing lives sadly.

[joesnuffy]

Jim Lacey Time Mag was in the tent next to the one in which the officers were attacked

The muslim trooper involved ..didnt act alone...suddenly his Iraqi interpretor confederates
dissapered from the story..

Fox is trying to spin the story that this troop was disgruntled and agitated...mentally unstable
and acted out of this resentment to officers

Fox is worried that all muslims will be badly painted with this incident...going PC
And moral will go south...

Yet this troops officers are not in the area attacked he is an engineer attached..he and his
muslim buddies attacked the commander of the brigade and his staff...they knew right where to
go and which tents to hit...

So what happend to the others the lone grenadier was aiding..???

So much for truth and fair and balanced...

They need to get rid of every muslim in the command and bus them and their imman chaplins the
heck outta dodge imo..and ASAP

If this guy is an indenpendent or a member of al-Qaeda sleeper cells embedded among our
troops should be considered and our kids not sacraficed on the altar of DIVERSITY..

[Grani]

Black muslims should be not be serving in the US Forces. Islam wants to kill all infidels.

They absolutely should not be there. BTW, I'm furious with ABC news on the radio. They refuse to identify the soldier as a muslim.

[floriduh voter]

A 2nd soldier has been detained per msnbc. I wonder what his muslim name is. I do not buy the "resentment" motive at all. Resentment is not an emotion shared by two people unles they are in jihad.

[freedom44]

Hey now.. Let's not get on fanatical lunatic fringes. One of the four marines killed recently in the chopter crash was a naturalized Muslim.

And there are tons of loyal Muslims serving.

Your right. Skin color doesnt mean a thing. I had a white kid from Oakland (okay..he wanted to be black and would "P-Funk with the bruthas" to beat hell!) under my command a few years back. I did all I could to learn about this kids Islamic beliefs.

....Sorry....I didnt trust his guy as far as I could have thrown him but I kept him close and talking to me so I knew exactly where he was both mentally as well as physically. Islam is so twisted!

Religion of peace.

Bump.

[blackbart.223]

"CNN is reporting that one soldier has died.

The puke resposible should be tried and and hanged.

[whadizit]

Especially when Wahabi's (sp) are allowed to carry weapons - even to guard the grenades!! Can you believe that? A discipline problem put in charge of grenades?

[JasonC]

Ann Coulter is going to have such a column on this. The DC sniper will look like a Sunday school picnic...

[joesnuffy]

He wasnt striking out in a misguied interpretation of his religous beliefs ...
He was actualizing these beliefs...giving them wings in reality...
Ask his immans and Wahabbi US Army chaplins
Ship all muslims and imman chaplins home ASAP before another one of their sleepers
Goes off...
If he is a lone loon..why was he acting in concert with Iraqi interpreters...
this story is being spun right before our eyes

[floriduh voter]

Were there any religion of peace guys on the helicopter that went down the other night or any muslims who worked on that helicopter? Just asking.

[gg188]

Will the army respond like, for example, civilians did after 911---with diversity training so that there would be no hateful backlash, maybe have Christian soldiers dress up like mohams to know how it feels yadayada?

What about other soldiers and what about their wives and families back home? Don't they need to know that the army leadership will take decisive action? Gosh---I cannot imagine what it must be like......the soldiers and their families didn't have enough to worry about as it is, what with bio and chem wmd's, now they have to worry about their BACKS??????

I think Franks should come out tomorrow morning and say:

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the U.S Armed Forces, I have your back. First, we have just held the court martial and executed yesterday's murderer, and second, we are removing all islams and mohameddans and five-percenters and black-power and followers of Calypso Louie from the U.S. armed forces permanently. You will not have to look over your shoulder to see who may be lobbing a grenade into your bedroll. Finally, if civlians at home want to welcome those who would slaughter us into their communities and schools and workplaces, so be it. But we in the U.S Armed Forces will no longer allow anyone who professes a creed that is diametrically opposed to the values of the Republic of the United States into our military ranks."

[noutopia]

I retired from the USAF in 92,I would not have trusted a communist in my squadron. Why trust the enemy now because they are Islamic?

[Sunshadow]

I want to know how long he's been serving and how long he planned this. It seems he was in charge of grenades and security and was acting suspicious. You would think living, sleeping and working side by side with his fellow soldiers would have forged a bond. Only a deviant and hate filled mind would try to destroy those same soldiers. I feel bad for the families that are waiting to hear about their loved ones, knowing that one of the people closest to them committed this crime.

[TLBSHOW]

wahabi chaplains in the military

Lets trace that back to who allows this to happen...

[TLBSHOW]

islam is teamed with commies now that is the facts!
