| Grenade Attack on U.S. Troops in Kuwait |
| 2003-03-22 |
| A grenade attack on a command tent of the U.S. 101st Airborne Division in Kuwait wounded at least eight soldiers, six of them seriously, a U.S. journalist with the unit told CNN on Sunday. The journalist said two grenades had been rolled into the command tent, in what appeared to be a "terrorist attack." I don't think this one's a nut — at least no more a nut than can be found running around Pakistan... FOLLOWUP: Speaker on FoxNews says the two attackers were Arabs, possibly Kuwaitis on the translation staff, who were dressed in military uniform. Speaker — Stuart Ramsey, of Sky News — says he doesn't know if the attackers were caught up in the blast. CENTCOM says ten people injured. Info is just coming in to the command. Action took place at Camp Pennsylvania. More followup, from CBS News... An American Muslim soldier is among three people being questioned in connection with a grenade and small-arms attack that injured at least 10 U.S. soldiers at Camp Pennsylvania in northern Kuwait, reports CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassman. 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. George Heath, spokesman at Fort Campbell, home base of the 101st, said 10 people were wounded, six seriously. The American was found injured and hiding in a bunker. Asked if he was hurt throwing a grenade, Strassman reports the soldier replied, "Yes." Cheeze. A nut, alright — but an inside job. 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. |

| #16 Jim Lacey from Time magazine just stated on Fox that this 101st murderer did this in support of his faith. He stated that this a**hole was not under the 101st command (ie. had no motive for cold-blooded murder) other then a desire for jihad. The D.C. sniper is a black muslim. The 101st murderer is a black muslim. When will america wake up to the fact that victimization mixed with the avoidance of reponsibility and added with a dash of multiculturalism is a toxic disaster. Sad, Sad, Sad. |

| #14 CAIR might be irrelevant... a soldier will face a military tribunal, not the "OJ Jury" stuff you get back home. FoxNews just reported one of the injured has in fact died. This sick f*ck is in some deep trouble. He's lucky that he wasn't beaten to death. |

| #11 Jim Lacey also said that although the wounds of some were serious, they were not considered "life threatening" so thank God for small favors. This is how John Muhammad, the Beltway Sniper, got started! Joker to Cowboy in "Full Metal Jacket": "I think Leonard is a Section 8". |
