Kabul Rocket Attack Indicates Terrorists' Continuing Potential
By Andrew Cochran
A massive explosion in Kabul, Afghanistan in the diplomatic area of city and near U.S. Embassy was caused by a rocket attack. The "blast occurred inside the grounds housing the state-run television offices. The building is next to the heavily fortified U.S. Embassy and the base for NATO-led forces in the capital..." One Afghani security contractor was hurt and no Americans were injured. The primary reason for our merger, effective today, with Bill Roggio's "Fourth Rail" is to cover the ongoing counterterrorism effort in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Africa (Doug Farah has written here often about the Pentagon's Africa activities). Bill will embed with the Marines in Afghanistan next month. We invite reports from our men and women on the ground there.
