Grenade attack on US army Kuwait HQ
By Charles Clover at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait

Eight US soliders were injured, four of them seriously, after a grenade attack on command tents of the US army's 101st Airbourne division at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait early on Sunday morning.

Grenades were thrown into three tents in the brigade command area of the camp. Shots were also fired during the incident, although it is not clear by whom.

Two locally recruited interpreters working for the US army were held after the attacks, which targeted three command tents around 2.00am local time.

Before the launch of the US-led invasion of Iraq, there were a number of attacks on US personnel based in Kuwait.

Twelve Kuwaitis are currently on trial for involvement in last year's shooting of US Marines that left one marine dead and one injured, and the two attackers dead. In November, a
20-year-old policeman shot and injured two US soldiers. In January, a Muslim zealot
allegedly killed a San Diego computer contractor and injured another close to the US army's
Camp Doha.

They can't guarantee the security of their own tents and they want to secure the whole country?
