Here is the report from http://www.foxnews.com...

CAMP UDAIRI, Kuwait — A man drove a pickup truck into a group of U.S. soldiers outside a store at Camp Udairi on Sunday, injuring 10 to 15 people, a military official said.

The driver was wearing civilian clothes, said Lt. Col. Larry Cox, the public affairs officer at the U.S. base.

There was no information on those injured or where they were being treated. It also was not immediately clear what happened to the driver.

At a news briefing in Doha, Qatar, Gen. Tommy Franks, the U.S. war commander, had no further details about the attack but noted it was substantially different from a homicide car bomb attack that killed four American soldiers in Iraq on Saturday.

"It was obvious that the modus of the second attack (at Camp Udairi) was not at all like the first attack (a homicide car bombing)," he said.

Camp Udairi is primarily a V Corps aviation base that is also used for maintenance and supply. It is the United States' northernmost base in Kuwait, near the Iraqi border.

Either way, it still warrants being deemed a terrorist attack IMO. Does not matter to me if this incident is different than the one in Iraq. Same intent in both cases!!
