Rockets Blast Kabul on Afghan Independence Day

Ayesha Tanzeem

   ISLAMABAD - Fourteen rockets landed in Kabul Tuesday morning, some of
   them very close to where President Ashraf Ghani was participating in an
   official ceremony marking the country's 101st independence day.

   The attack, close to Kabul's diplomatic enclave, sent emergency sirens
   blazing in most foreign embassies, the United Nations and NATO
   headquarters in Kabul, and sent staff scrambling to get to safe rooms.
