| A rocket was fired at a building where U.S. Special Forces were believed to be quartered as they hunt down al-Qaida and Taliban fighters in Pakistan's tribal belt, a local official said. The rocket missed and no one was hurt. It was the second time in two weeks that a rocket was fired at the building, a vocational school in Miran Shah, where about seven Americans are believed to sleep during their mission with Pakistani troops in the semiautonomous area near the Afghan border. A second rocket, with a timing device set for 2:25 a.m. Saturday, was found by authorities and defused. The first rocket hit a sports complex about 200 yards away from the school and caused little damage, the official said. Good thing they're not better shots. But the important part at this point is shooting off rockets. |
