Akbar attacks his MP escort
 A former Fort Campbell soldier accused of killing two officers in a Kuwait grenade attack tried to overpower a guard in an apparent escape attempt today at Fort Bragg, N.C., the Army said. Sgt. Hasan Akbar, who served with an engineering unit of the 101st Airborne Division, tried to overpower one of the military police officers escorting him to a courtroom for a pre-trial motion. Army spokeswoman Ellen A. Hart said Akbar was quickly subdued by other guards.
| Guess he thought he was in Atlanta for a moment there... |
During the incident, however, Akbar and one of the guards suffered injuries requiring medical attention.
"Aw, shucks, Akbar! Did it hurt?"
"Gimme my teeth back, infidel!" |
The hearing was postponed until Friday. Jury selection in the capital case begins on April 6. Akbar will be tried on charges that he killed two officers and wounded several others in a grenade attack that occurred as troops of the 101st were about to enter Iraq in January 2003.
