KUWAIT CITY, March 23 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) - A U.S. soldier suspected of wounding 13 colleagues, one of whom reported died of injuries, in a grenade attack in Kuwait has been taken into custody, a U.S. Department of Defense spokesman said Sunday, March 23.

"The suspect was taken into custody from the attack on elements of the 101st Airborne" division, liaison officer Max Blumenfeld told Agence France-Presse (AFP).  

"The suspect is a soldier assigned to the division. Preliminary information indicates it was carried out by using hand grenades."  

Thirteen men were injured, six seriously, at the heavily-guarded U.S. military camp in the northern Kuwait desert in the early hours. 

In Washington, CNN reported late Saturday that one of the 13 soldiers injured in the attack by a fellow soldier has died of his injuries.  

The 13 casualties were all members of the elite 101st Airborne Division, and were injured - some critically - when an unidentified American soldier hurled an undetermined number of grenades into a heavily guarded U.S. military camp in the northern Kuwait desert.

CNN reported that the man had recently been disciplined for "insubordination issues," but it was not clear early Sunday whether the disciplinary actions were connected with the attack.

The injured included several senior officers as the attacker rolled grenades into two command tents of the 101st Airborne Division at Camp Pennsylvania close to the Iraqi border in northern Kuwait, according to The Independent.

The incident has provoked shock and utter disbelief among the troops that one of their own might have been involved.

Blumenfeld said the motive for the attack "most likely was resentment".

Many of the division's troops are among U.S. forces already inside Iraq as part of the war to invade and occupy Iraq.  

"The ... suspected terrorist attack happened at Camp Pennsylvania," one of the sprawling U.S. military outposts in the desert near the Iraq border, which is under intense round-the-clock security.  

It appeared to be the first time since the war began Thursday that U.S. troops had been victims of an inside attack.  

"We're trying to find out exactly what happened," Blumenfeld said. He said wounded soldiers had been evacuated to Camp Arifjan in southern Kuwait.  

"Our primary goal right now is to regroup, reconsolidate ... our priority is those soldiers," he said.  

As the U.S.-led juggernaut continued to roll powerfully forward, the attack inside Kuwait confirmed suggestions that the occupation of Iraq was developing into two quite separate wars.  

U.S. and British Marines and armored forces claimed victories over Iraqi regular troops in one-sided battles west of Basra and on the River Euphrates, opening the route to Baghdad and taking hundreds of prisoners.  

However, a clear pattern was also emerging of a second, less conventional conflict in which diehard Iraqi soldiers – some fighting in civilian clothes – were trying to lure coalition forces into urban street-fighting and desert ambushes, according to The Independent.
