MEMBERS OF THE 101ST INJURED IN TERRORIST GRENADE ATTACK



CNN is reporting on this now. It seems as if someone threw a couple of grenades into an encampment of the 101st Airborne. At least 10 injured.



UPDATE: The grenades were thrown into "leadership" tents.



UPDATE: From the AP:
KUWAIT CITY - A rear base camp of the 101st Airborne Division was attacked early Sunday with a grenade and small arms fire and there appear to be casualties, a U.S. military official said.



The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the incident occurred at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait near the Iraqi border.



The official did not identify the unit of the 101st that was in the camp but added that it had been in Kuwait for about one week.



Most of the division has entered southern Iraq.
