1. Two people die as wave of attacks hits Afghanistan

At least two Afghans were killed and six wounded yesterday in an explosion at a government military post near the former Taliban stronghold of Khost in southeastern Afghanistan, police said.

The blast came hours after more than 20 rockets landed near Khost's airport, where US-led forces are based, they said.

It was the biggest single rocket attack since the fall of the Taliban in late 2001, but US military spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Bryan Hilferty reported no casualties.
