Opposition to war against Iraq may have spurred an American Muslim soldier - known as a disgruntled loner - to fatally shoot one comrade in Kuwait and wound 15 others with grenades, military sources said yesterday.

Sgt. Asan Akbar, 31, is "a Muslim, and it seems he was just against the war," said a source. Other sources agreed his alleged attack appeared to be "politically motivated" and that he was opposed to killing fellow Muslims.

Doesn't the Army have stockades any more - or, 9if that would have been too extreme a solution, why was he not transferred to ...let's say : The 2nd Mess Kit Repair Bn in Water Moccasin, Alabama ?

They could put him in the Poteau, Oklahoma jail. I'm sure some of the guys there would take care of him.

Mom, your son IS exactly like that.

I read somewhere that Capt. Seifert was not killed by a grenade. He was shot when he ran out of the tent.

This Muslim scum not only lobbed three grenades trying to kill as many officers as he could, he pulled the trigger to make sure.

This is not resentment. This was a planned attack to try to do as much harm to the unit as possible by killing officers and to destroy the morale of his fellow soldiers.

I wish the entire 101st could have a moment with him individually before he is tried for murder and treason.

I hadn't read that. That means the slime Muslim really did have a plan. I am wondering, since from the photos at least, he didn't appear to be very bright, if he may have had some help?

Hummmm...now who was the commander-and-creep in 1998 that accepted this traitor into the service along with other flotsam and jetsam?

From another story just posted:

Womack shook the colonel awake just as a fragmentation grenade exploded next to his cot, spraying shrapnel and wounding Hodges.

The duo stumbled over each other in the smoke as they struggled to get out of the tent. The colonel emerged first, only to be shot in the leg by the suspect who had been lying in wait by the tent entrance with his rifle.

Womack said Akbar then ran to the next tent a few paces away and tossed a fragmentation grenade inside. When an officer ran out, Womack told the Times, "The guy just stopped, shot the officer in the back when he paused to put on his mask, then he kept on running."
