(CBS) Ten U.S. soldiers were injured, six or seven of them seriously, in a grenade and small arms attack at Camp Pennsylvania in northern Kuwait, reports CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassmann, who is traveling with the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division.
Strassmann said the grenades were rolled into two commanders' tents at the camp. When officers ran from the tents, they were hit by small arms fire.
"From our reports it appears that a terrorist penetrated Camp Pennsylvania, one or more terrorists threw two hand grenades into a tent," said George Heath, spokesman at Fort Campbell, home base of the 101st.
Strassman said three suspects were being held for questioning, two Kuwaitis who served a translators and an American soldier described as a black Muslim.
The injured soldiers were rushed to a field hospital but military officials had no word on their conditions, Lt. Cmdr. Charles Owens said from Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar.
The military did not identify the unit of the 101st that was in the camp but said it had been in Kuwait for about one week. Most of the division has entered southern Iraq.
Separately, Strassmann reported, an Iraqi rocket fired at U.S. forces in Kuwait was destroyed by Patriot missiles launched from nearby Camp New Jersey.
The terror and missile attack came as the U.S. assault on Iraq gained steam. American and British forces besieged the southern city of Basra and pounded Baghdad with impunity. But tough fighting loomed for coalition troops as they pressed deeper into Iraq.

Remember the Muslim FBI agent who wouldn't do a tape tap on another Muslim who was suspect? Yup, he got promoted shortly thereafter.

I knew it!
As soon as I heard the details of the attack, I thought to myself - Its some "John Mohammed" wannabee.
I'm still kind of amazed that it IS, though.

Islam, the relgion of peace.

Keith Olberman (spit), on MSNBC, just suggested that 'a story that we thought was a horrible terrorist attack has taken a different turn.'
Earth to Keith: IT WAS A TERRORIST ATTACK. It's just that the TERRORIST wore the same BDUs as his victims.

When America is reduced to a smoking radioactive cinder due to the actions of the black Muslims, whom will they turn for their payout? France?, woops sorry, more racist than America. Germany?, whoops, same thing.
No matter what happens, blacks will suffer mightily unless they can pull back from the welfare state bong (doubtful)

Louis Farrakhan, March 23, 2003:
The United States of America is at the crossroads. And we, too, are at the crossroads. The Muslim world is at the crossroads. What is a crossroad? It is a crucial point, especially where a decision must be made. America is in the valley of decision and you are also in that same valley. You cannot follow your leaders blindly, regardless to their being in positions of power that you have elected them to, or that they, in revolution, came to power. Power today is in the Hands of God. If you allow yourself, with patriotic zeal, to follow that which is in error, then, as the Bible says, "If the blind lead the blind, both fall in the ditch." The ditch represents hell. I hasten to tell you that the President of the United States is spiritually blind.

Summary Court-Martial and firing squad must be the only course of action if an American serviceman is responsible for this attack.

This picture should be sent to O'Reilly! Would you please do so? He will be infuriated and I bet he'll show it, too.

Fox says they don't have any details yet except that a soldier is missing from guard duty.
