Islamabad, Oct 27: Two rockets were fired at an
Afghan army post in troubled Eastern Afghanistan overnight,
without causing any injuries, the Afghan Islamic Press (AIP)
reported today.
The rockets fell a few hundred meters away from the army
post in Gardez district, the provincial capital of Paktia, the
Pakistan-based news agency said, quoting army spokesman
Commander Mohammad Ismail.
"We have sent our forces to hunt down the attackers and have arrested two men on suspicion" of involvement, AJP quoted Ismail as saying. He blamed the attack on Taliban and al-Qaeda remanants. This was the second attack on the army post since the ouster of the Taliban regime late last year by the combined force of a US-led coalition and the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance.
