Rockets fired at Afghan president

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Taliban militants fired rockets near President Hamid Karzai in an apparent assassination attempt in central Afghanistan on Sunday, but the missiles fell far from their target and no one was hurt, officials and witnesses said.
The assassination bid was one among a spate of attacks that killed at least 66 people, mostly militants, over the weekend in restive Afghanistan.
Karzai was giving a speech to the elders and residents of Andar district in Ghazni province when rockets were fired nearby, said Ali Shah Ahmadzai, provincial police chief. No one was hurt, he said.
Witnesses said they heard between three and six rockets, but the Taliban claimed it fired off 12.
The rockets missed their target, with two of them landing some 220 yards away from the crowd, said Arif Yaqoubi, a local reporter attending the event.

"Please sit down," Karzai told a nervous crowd under a tent in a school yard. "Don't be scared. Nothing is happening."
Karzai finished his speech and his security detail whisked him off by helicopter to Kabul, witnesses and officials said. It was the third attempt on Karzai's life since he became president following the ouster of the Taliban regime in 2001.
Purported Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi told The Associated Press that Taliban militants were behind the attack.
"The Taliban knew that Karzai was coming to Andar district. When Karzai was meeting with the people, the Taliban fired 12 rockets," Ahmadi said by satellite phone from an undisclosed location. "The rockets fell nearby."
Khial Mohammad, a Ghazni lawmaker also at the event, said during the speech "we heard the sounds of rockets whizzing over our heads" before slamming down in the distance.
In northwestern Afghanistan, meanwhile, militants attacked three separate police posts Saturday in Murghab district of Badghis province, sparking a six-hour battle that left 20 suspected Taliban and two officers dead, said provincial police chief Gen. Mohammad Ayub Naizyar.
Police repelled the attack and sent reinforcements to the area, forcing the militants to withdraw, Naizyar said.
NATO and Afghan troops clashed with militants and called in airstrikes Saturday, leaving 27 suspected Taliban dead in southern Zabul province, said Defense Ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi.
In another clash in Zabul, a gunbattle between NATO and Afghan troops and insurgents left 16 militants dead on Friday, a statement from Defense Ministry said.
The reports could not be independently verified because the incidents occurred in remote areas.
In Ghazni province, one Afghan soldier was killed and four others wounded when a roadside bomb hit their patrol Saturday, NATO said in a statement.
After a winter lull, there has been a sharp spike in clashes and other violence this spring in Afghanistan. Some 2,200 people, many of them insurgents, have died in insurgency-related violence this year, according to an AP count based on numbers reported by the U.S., NATO, U.N. and Afghan officials.
