(CBS) An American soldier is among three suspects being held in connection with a grenade and small-arms attack that injured at least 16 U.S. soldiers at Camp Pennsylvania in northern Kuwait, reports CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassman, who is on the scene with the Army's 101st Airborne Division.

Eleven of the injured were hurt so seriously they had to be choppered out of the camp.

Strassmann said three grenades were rolled into three officers' tents at the camp. When officers ran from the tents, they were hit by small arms fire.

Three suspects were being held for questioning: two Kuwaitis who served as translators and an American soldier described as an engineering sergeant.

The American was found injured and hiding in a bunker. Asked if he was hurt throwing a grenade, Strassman reports the soldier replied, "Yes."

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 attacks on U.S. troops came as the American assault on Iraq gained steam. American and British forces besieged the southern city of Basra and pounded Baghdad with impunity.

Coalition ground forces crossed the Euphrates River and were within 150 miles of the capital. They’re still meeting only light resistance, with many Iraqi troops surrendering or simply leaving the battlefield.

But six divisions of the Republican Guard, Saddam's best and most loyal soldiers, were still in the way.

My TV blew up tonight so I'm reduced to a choice between NPR and CBS radio.

I chose CBS (not much choice, huh?) and I noticed that at 10pm all references to an American Muslim had been removed from the update.

Bin Laden's family in Saudi Arabia is full of engineers and Binnie knew alot about bridges and buildings.

I know that, Best Joke told by a combat Engineer (during ANCOC) "A mine is a terrible thing to waste".

Sorry that was the punch line, don't remember the joke.

And thanks to FR, we have the proof of this PC editing for posterity.

What kind of reporter tosses aside relevant facts for the sake of PC whitewash?

[jackbill]

I heard on Fox talk that Wahabi Ministers are Chaplains and may be radicalizing the soldier faithful.

I hope I really didn't hear that but I think I did.

You did indeed hear it - as did I. Nine of 13 Muslim Army chaplains are Wahabi.

A degreed civil engineer and a combat engineer are two completely and un-related things, except that they both play in the dirt.

Bin Ladens family owns a large construction company.

Let me guess????

RCA or GE chassis!

"I wonder why Geraldo went to Afghanistan. Think he was too scared or not fit enough to imbed in Iraq?"

I wondered about that myself. Ollie hosts a show called "War Stories," maybe Ollie pulled rank. I haven't cared that much for Ollie's reporting though.

You can bet that all non-muslim soldiers will be giving muslim soldiers a long, hard look from now and they in turn will be looking over their shoulders.

But are they allowed to say or do anything about it? No. That would be considered biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigoted.

They need to round up all muslim soldiers and suspend ministry indefinitely

It won't make much difference about the PC reporting, surely, this clymer's name will be made public, and just like the DC sniper, the American people will be able to read between the lines. The military will be given carte blanche to remove the Muslims within their ranks from that theater of operations.

One could wish that Bush would quit his "religion of peace" crap, but if it deceives the other Arabic scum into letting us get the job done before we have to turn our guns on them, then so be it. It's GWB's job to lie to our enemies on our behalf.

Aaron Brown (CNN) is currently saying that "you almost hope that it was someone who infiltrated the base, rather than one of our own guys". Wesley Clark (DemocRAT candidate for President) is agreeing with him. They absolutely refuse to believe that we have an evil within our country, an evil that must be excised.

[Cold Heat]

Sorry that was the punch line, don't remember the joke.

That's ok, I will take a rain check.

BTW, does a .357 count in a gun fight with wad cutters?

[rintense]

FNC is now saying it was indeed a US solider- the black muslim, who did this.

[RippleFire]

BUMP

[jackbill]

Fox News just showed a picture of the guy, sitting on the ground with a blanket or jacket over his shoulders. It wasn't very clear, but if he's white, I'll buy dinner.

[Cold Heat]

It's GWB's job to lie to our enemies on our behalf.

We are going to rewrite their koran as well. He has to do what he is doing in order to attempt to preserve social order.
