Soldier detained in fatal grenade attack on Army base

Investigators: Suspect had been cited for insubordination

CAMP PENNSYLVANIA, Kuwait (CNN) -- A soldier wounded in a grenade attack at a 101st Airborne Division base in Kuwait has died, U.S. Central Command said.



Another soldier attached to the 101st has been detained and is being questioned in connection with the incident early Sunday at one of the division's camps in northern Kuwait, Army V Corps spokesman Max Blumenfeld said.



The attack at Camp Pennsylvania, where soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division are stationed, wounded 12 people -- at least five of them seriously -- U.S. military officials said.



Financial Times correspondent Charles Clover -- who is embedded with the unit -- said he was told by Col. Ben Hodges, a commander of the 1st Brigade, that the soldier lobbed three grenades into the three tents housing commanding officers from the tactical operations center. At least two of the grenades exploded, Hodges told Clover.



Two people were wounded by gunfire, Clover said, the others by fragments.



Central Command said two were treated at the scene, and the 11 others were taken by helicopter to Army combat support hospitals in the region. The conditions of the other 10 are unknown.

He was trained to kill. He killed.

<<He was trained to kill. He killed.>>



LOL, your grasp on military training is a tad less than overwhelming, Phil. But what's interesting here is that he acted with others in a terrorist attack. A telling question to ask - why did CNN censor both this terrorists' name and religion? Telling answers - name:Asan Akbar , religion: Islam. Even the quickest of reads yields up that this was a "jihad" inspired attack. The question remaining is wether he's a sincere jihadi-killer (planned religious murder-terrorism ) or if he just went suddenly nuts.

He had changed his name. It was Anglo at first.

He was a Sgt.menaing that he had been in the service for awhile. BTW I was in the US Army.
