Overnight Saturday, unidentified people fired three rockets at the U.S.-controlled airstrip outside the southeastern city of Khost, according to a local leader, Fazal Mir. The area near the Pakistani border is believed to be among the last major pockets of Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. Mir said by phone that the rockets were fired from close range about midnight. The building that was hit did not house any Americans, but three Afghans were injured and one is in critical condition, Mir said. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Still ineffectual fire that doesn't do any real damage. That doesn't mean they're not training up to it. It also doesn't mean it's Talibs or al-Qaeda. FoxNews on the teevee sez it's a fight between rival Pashtun factions over who's gonna be in charge. |
