ISLAMABAD, April
14 (Xinhuanet) -- Unidentified militants Sunday morning fired three rockets
at Khost airport in eastern Afghanistan, according to the Peshawar-based
Afghan Islamic Press (AIP). Quoting sources in Khost, the
private news agency said the rockets were targeted at the U.S. troops
stationed at the airport. Khost Governor Mohammed Ibrahim told
the AIP that the rockets did not hit the airport but fell near the
airfields, which caused no damages. The governor said the
attack could be linked to local rivalries but did not rule out the
involvement of Al-Qaeda or Taliban militants.
