It was the first rocket attack on the capital Kabul since the Taliban launched a series of offensives to coincide with the final drawdown of foreign troops from the warwracked country. But the insurgents denied they were behind the strike near the heavily fortified palace. Related story: Rockets hit near presidential palace in Kabul
