WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: We go to Kuwait, where two U.S. soldiers are seriously hurt after being shot apparently by the police officer who pulled them over in their unmarked car. CNN's Kevin Sites is in Kuwait City. He's joining me now with details on this late development -- Kevin.</s>KEVIN SITES, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, Wolf, some new and interesting details surfacing in this case, which we've been covering all day. Two U.S. soldiers were shot this morning while driving a civilian vehicle between Camp Doha -- that's the major U.S. military base here just north of the city -- and the town of Arifjan. Now, an official in the Kuwaiti Ministry of Information now tells us, the shooter was a Kuwaiti police sergeant, and he stopped the soldiers, apparently saying that they were speeding. Then he used his duty weapon to shoot them both at close range -- one in the face and one in the shoulder. And the police sergeant apparently fled the border to the south to Saudi Arabia. Now, his motives aren't known yet, but Kuwaiti officials and U.S. officials are still investigating, and the U.S. Embassy confirms this information that we're telling you now. Now, apparently, the soldiers didn't return fire during the incident, but they did have it together just enough to be able to drive themselves into that town of Arifjan, where they were choppered to a Kuwaiti military hospital here in the capital city. Their wounds are serious, Wolf, but they're expected to recover -- back to you.</s>BLITZER: Kevin Sites on the scene for us in Kuwait City -- Kevin, thanks very much.
