4 US troops Wounded in Kuwait

According to Reuters, guerrillas in Kuwait attacked two US convoys moving through that country on Sunday in separate incidents, lightly wounding four US soldiers when their small arms attack shattered glass and set it flying.. Unsuccessful attacks on US personnel in Kuwait, presumably by Kuwaitis sympathetic to al-Qaeda, have apparently been more frequent than is commonly known.

Al-Qaeda-linked gunmen shot and wounded two US soldiers in Kuwait in November of 2002.
