'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.

This was in a rear eschelon area, and I'm sure they thought they were safe. But yeah, time to ditch the pips and sleep with the men.

I hope you're right because if we're talking about Black Muslims--how are you going to identify them from the 99% of patriotic black troops? I mean, name alone won't get you far, I don't think. Only if you have information that the traitor was "acting weird", and if some soldier's "acting weird", as this maggot was apparently acting, what the hell is he doing in Camp Penn?
I really think this is a problem.

I know this is a bit off topic, but does anyone have a compilation of links to LIVE streaming TV news coverage of the war?Try this. If you have real player the BBC has excellent internet streaming.

Of course they should hang HIM. They should also hang those who do not check out these kinds of guys and make sure they are loyal. expect more and more of this until we wake up about security.
How come nobody has picked up on my posts about reliable info on a major radio station from NYC?????

Going forward there should be the option to all those sympathizers to Saddam to leave now.

Surprisingly, I heard this first from Dan Blather, then from Fox News. None of them, though, said he was a Muslim.

This was an assassination attempt
I was witness to a fragging attempt in Vietnam (by the usual suspects)
If this was simply a disgruntled soldier he would not be disgruntled against the Colonel but some lower ranking NCO or Officer..
He also would not have conspired with the enemy ...and thrown three fragmentation grenades into the old man's tent.. this was a co-ordinated attack with outsiders...it was planned and not a spontaneous act of passion..
He Id'd the Commanding officers tent ..and when the officers dove out of the tent ..the enemy was waiting with small arms fire...they knew exactly where the Brigade Commander was...
How did they know that and how did they get access?...a African American Muslim US Army Soldier...
This guy is a traitor of the lowest magnitude
Of course Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton will readily defend him...he will probably become the darling of the left wing media and anti war movement...
Thank the good Lord...Jesus Christ for protecting Col Hodges (sp?)..to escape three fragmentation grenades and a direct fire at close range of small arms fire with only minor injuries is a miracle..
This traitor needs to be hung...
And the 11 or so Wahabbi Imman (chaplins) in the US Army need to be shown the door imo...ASAP

I asked what the 'fog of war' was about.This is not the first time the US has had a terrorist in the armed services,we had one that went on leave to serve the taliban against russia once.There are others that have joined,only to go through basic and AIT and then not report to their unit.These are not american soldiers,they are spies and enemy that look like american soldiers.

Muslims are death to America!!! They are death to the entire Christian and Jewish world. We are crazy letting them in here in such numbers.
To: eastforker
Since the "fog of war" is not linked and your home page does not show it,what the hell are you talking about.Sorry it wasn't meant to be a link but I see why one might think so. By the term "fog of war" I just meant that over the last 2 or 3 hours I've heard so many versions of this story already that it's not all clear yet. But as I said in my next post that I do believe in firing squads on the battlefield for things like throwing gernades at your fellow soldiers. Hope this clears up the confusion.

I read on another thread that, shortly after this grenade attack, the camp was hit by a missile. I strongly suspect the two events are connected, and part of a wider conspiracy.
