Two rockets were fired at the palace around midnight (3:30 p.m. EDT Friday), but apparently overflew their target, according to Khalid Pashtun, the Afghan Foreign Ministry's official in Kandahar. No one was injured when the rockets landed far away from the palace. The rockets were ignited by a timer from about 200 meters away, Pashtun said.
