'US SOLDIER ATTACKS TROOPS'
An American Muslim soldier is understood to have carried out a grenade attack on a US military camp which injured 16 soldiers.
A second man, who is not a soldier, is thought to be held.
Three grenades were rolled into three tents housing military leaders of the 101st Airborne Division Saturday night at Camp Pennsylvania, home of the, near the Iraqi border, said Sky correspondent Stuart Ramsay, who is in the base.
The grenade that was rolled into the first tent, where the commanding officer sleeps, did not go off.
But two other grenades used to attack tents where the unit's majors and captains sleep did explode.
'Acting weird'
Ramsay watched as the suspects were held.
"Two men are being held, one of which is a Muslim soldier who is an engineer," Ramsay said.
"It appears he was hiding in a barrack where the attacks happened. A second man, who we believe is not an American soldier, is being held by the military.
"As the man who carried out the attack moved away there was some shooting. He was shot in the leg. He was held on the ground less than 100 yards from where the attack happened."
He said fears about the Muslim soldier's behaviour had been raised in recent days by colleagues.
Interrogation
"In recent days they were concerned about his behaviour and were not going to send him up to the front when the soldiers were going to be deployed."
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.
"To be honest we just do not know," Ramsay said.
"Talking to other soldiers, it could be that he was disgruntled. They said he had been acting 'weird' for days."
Eleven soldiers who were seriously hurt were flown out of the camp by helicopter.

Total bullcrap. Maybe muslim, but race has little to do with this.

Sky News is like the BBC when it comes to reporting from Israel, extremly biased, and anti-Israel.

But two other grenades used to attack tents where the unit's majors and captains sleep did explode. Considering the nature of this conflict, having officers all sleeping together in "Officer Country" is unwise. Taking out 12 Majors or 12 senior NCO's can have a disproportionate effect on the performance of the entire Division.

Let me be on the firing squad. I disagree. Shooting is too honorable a fate for this maggot.
Let him be hanged. If you want to put the rope around his neck, that's fine by me.

I'm going to be sick if they don't stand him up before a firing squad in a couple of days. In WWI it would have been a summary execution, and there's something to say for that.
To: mondonico
If this is true, this guy will find himself with life in front of a firing squad.

Fragging one's superior is not exactly a new thing. If we rush conclusion and American servicemen become the enemy based on their beliefs, then we have begun to lose. Let's at least let the smoke clear before we jump to conclusions.

One or two here or there, no big deal, but 1,625 could do real damage. The army knows exactly where all of them are; if there is a general problem it will be resolved immediately.

I heard on a radio talk show that out of the 22 conflicts in the world, 20 are between Moslems and their non-Moslem neighbors.

This guy who perpetrated this attack will be having an unpleasant experience in Iraq from here on out to say the least.Although this might be quite an understatement I'll admit.
Looks like the 3rd Infantry just got a new "permenant point man."
"Hey, you go up ahead there. Lets see if your muslim bretheren accept you with open arms. We'll stay back here and cover you.. yeah, that's the ticket.."

THREE grenades,
TWO perps?
Back in the dim mists of time, I was taught never to pull the pin with my teeth.

You are so correct. Islam is a terrorist evil organization that believes its members have to kill all non-muslims in order to get into their heaven. They are not politically motivated but think they have to earn, by murder, their way into paradise.
Islam has no compatible views with America which is mainly Christian, Jewish, or agnostic. This means muslims must kill non islamic Americans to get their reward.
Hopefully before its too late, Americans will realize that Islam is evil and must be defeated. If not, they will eventually kill us all.
To: Centurion2000
So why shouldn't all muslims by DEFINITION be barred from US military service ???
PCness.

Yes, a fatwa was issued by Al-Azhar in Cairo. I heard this mentioned by a guy interviewed on NPR today, before we heard about the attack in Kuwait.
To: ontos-on
I predict this guy who wounded 16 won't even get as much criticism and scrutiny as Jerry Falwell or Franklin Graham got for mere words of dissent.
Speaking of dissent, I just love how "American" the lefty protesters are being portrayed when pro-lifers have been called domestic terrorists, racketeers and extremists for their protesting.
Just grumbling about all this hypocrisy.
