U.S. Soldier Held for Another's Death in Grenade Attack

One soldier from the 101st Airborne Division was killed and 13 were wounded this morning
when two hand grenades were thrown into the 1st Brigade tactical operations center at
Camp Pennsylvania in central Kuwait, U.S. Army officials said.

Among those lightly wounded but not evacuated was the Brigade Commander, Col. Ben Hodges.
He was reportedly injured in the arm by grenade shrapnel which ruined his desert camouflage uniform.
