Ten patients were brought 'Extensive Casualties' in Wake of Pentagon Attack to Invoke Alexandria Hospital suffering from injuries ranging from burns to head lacerations, according to Kathleen Barry, chief nurse executive. By 1 p.m., two had been discharged, seven were in stable condition and one was in critical condition suffering from smoke inhalation.

Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington reported treating 30 patients, eight of whom were in critical condition, according to a spokeswoman. She said the hospital had set up a command center to help families locate relatives who may have been victims. Georgetown University Hospital reported one serious injury. Washington Hospital Center is treating seven burn victims, officials reported.

Earlier reports of other explosions in the Washington region, at the State Department and the Capitol, were not accurate, law enforcement officials said. In reaction to the attacks the US Navy's Atlantic fleet sent warships to bolster the air defenses of Washington and New York City. It also has sent US Marines and medical personnel to both cities to lend support. Virginia Gov. James Glimmer (R) activated National Guard members for rescue duty and ordered special search and rescue teams and state police to the Pentagon attack site. The governor also closed state government.
