Two US soldiers killed in Kuwait hit-and-run crash
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L19714167.htm

KUWAIT, Dec 19 (Reuters) - Two U.S. soldiers were killed and two injured on Sunday in a hit-and-run incident in southern Kuwait, the U.S. army and Kuwaiti security sources said.

The Kuwaiti sources said an Egyptian national had driven into a parked U.S. truck as the soldiers were fixing a flat tyre on the road to Nuwaiseeb.

"The Egyptian man then drove off, left his car in a roadside ditch and turned himself into Ahmadi police station," one security source said.

One soldier died immediately and another died after arriving at hospital, the U.S. military said.

1. Think the driver hated those soldiers for their freedoms?
Or maybe he lost a relative at some time due to USA`s imperialism throughout the globe? Or just hated them because of their murderous leader. It would work for me if someone invaded my part of the world. For no reason besides making wealthy people wealthier.

2. Nah, just because he probably thought they were
Zionist descendents of pigs and apes out to oppress Muslims. Or maybe they dared to be non-Muslim on soil that may only be trod by Muslims.

Or maybe he just freaked out. Or believed that Fallujah was nuked.

Hard to know another's motivation, isn't it?

3. It might have been an accident
Since he turned himself in. Not enough here to go on.
