Taliban slammed after rocket attack in Kabul

KABUL, Afghanistan－At least three rockets hit near the presidential palace in Kabul on Tuesday shortly before Afghan President Ashraf Ghani was to give an address to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.

There were no injuries and the rockets landed outside the heavily fortified palace grounds, said Mirwais Stanikzai, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but police quickly fanned out across the area. One car parked on a nearby street was destroyed. Police said it was used as launchpad for the rockets.
