| Grenade hurts two U.S. soldiers in Kabul |
| 2002-12-17 |
| Attackers hurled a grenade into a jeep carrying two U.S. soldiers and an Afghan interpreter in the heart of Kabul on Tuesday, wounding all three, the U.S. military said. One of the soldiers was wounded in the head and "in the lower extremities," while the second soldier suffered wounds to the lower right leg, said Lt. Tina Kroske. She did not identify the soldiers or say how serious their injuries were. The interpreter's condition was not immediately known. Kroske said three suspected assailants were arrested, but Kabul Police Chief Basir Salangi said only two men were in custody. He identified them as Amir Mohammed, of Khost in eastern Afghanistan, and Ghulam Saki of Jalalabad, the capital of Afghanistan's eastern Nangarhar province. Home boys Mohammed was arrested with at least two grenades in his pocket, Salangi told The Associated Press. Pull the pins and put them back in his pocket. |
