Pentagon identifies U.S. soldier killed by grenade

WASHINGTON, March 23 (Reuters) - The Pentagon on Sunday identified an American soldier apparently killed by a hand grenade thrown by another U.S. soldier in Kuwait as Army Capt. Christopher Scott Seifert, 27.

The news release said no home-of-record was available for Seifert, who was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division based at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

In Kuwait earlier, a U.S. military source said one soldier was killed and 15 others wounded early on Sunday when a Muslim American serviceman apparently angered by the war against Iraq rolled hand grenades into their tents.

The suspect, a sergeant from an engineering unit, was detained shortly after the early morning attack at a tented command center in Kuwait.

"He's a Muslim, and it seems he was just against the war," said one U.S. military source, who did not wish to be identified.

Brigade commander Col. Ben Hodges, who suffered a slight flesh wound in the attack, said a grenade was rolled into each of three tents at the command area at Camp Pennsylvania, the Kuwait base for the 1st Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division.

Capt. Seifert was asleep when he was killed.

Any truth to the b#$tard being muslim?!!

We know for a fact that he is

[shezza]

God bless Capt. Seifert's family, and may He comfort and console them with the knowledge that their brave soldier died to bring hope to the hopeless and freedom to the enslaved. He is a HERO.

The "religion of peace" strikes again.

If this soldier is not tried and executed for treason we might as well go home right now and put on our burkas

People need to "get it". Muslims are all for war, just not ones where any Muslims are on the receiving end.

[neutrino]

My, my. A brave is-slimeac warrior, who kills his victims while they sleep. Why am I not surprised?

[cynicom]

He will never be put to death, you know that and so do I.

[blastdad51]

Hope he gets his 72 virgins soon, and finds they're all pigs!!

[NautiNurse]

The perp's name is Sgt. Asan Akbar.

[joesnuffy]

Fox News ran his name accross a banner a while back SGT (cant remember first name arab looking) last name -Akbar

[dinok]

Political correctness still there.

The administration is saying that the Muslim Army attacker of fellow soldiers did it because he didnt like his commanding officer. Actually, the officers he attacked were not his direct commanders. His unit was attached to the 101st Air Assult. The officers he attacked had nothing to do with him.
I tell you, even when they act like traitors we cover for them. It's pathetic.

Did translator shortage backfire? Inadequate preparation of Arabic-language interrogators

[Cold Heat]

I understand what you say.

I also understand that we cannot afford to declare war against all Muslims. They will try to temper the animosity in the name of public order. It is understandable.

What I do want to see and you will see it, is the investigation and removal of Islamic radical Imam's from the military religious support system. (as they have done with some prisons)

"He's a Muslim, and it seems he was just against the war," said one U.S. military source, who did not wish to be identified.

Nonsense. He was just against fighting on the side of the land that gave him freedom and nurtured him. He is a traitor in the worst sense of the word. The craven animal ambushed true and good men who had placed their faith and trust in him.

[Pushi]

DON'T WATCH THE OSCARS.

[F.J. Mitchell]

If he is tried and found guilty, he will be just like Brer' Rabbit and the briar patch. He will be thrown into an American prison, where Islamites and Nation of Islamites have more control than the Warden ever dreamed of-Muslim heaven on earth, complete with virgins of the sort that appeal to their ilk.

Islam-the religion of peace-(piece?)refuge for any piece of pig sh*t!

If Capt. Seifert were my son, there would be a whole lot of dead black muslims before they caught me.
