KABUL, April 7: At least two rockets were fired at the headquarters of multinational peacekeeping troops in Kabul on Sunday morning, a spokesman for the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said.

It was not clear who was responsible for the attack, which caused no injuries or damage and came days after Afghan officials said a plot to destabilize the interim administration had been foiled.

Afghan officials said they would not rule out involvement of hardline groups in the rocket attack, including remnants of the Taliban and followers of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.

“The guards on duty at that time reported what they thought was a rocket-propelled grenade attack against the location which houses the Kabul headquarters of the multinational brigade,” Lt-Col Neal Peckham said while talking to reporters.—Reuters
