A failed rocket attack on a U.S. helicopter carrying President Hamid Karzai was carried out by a self-confessed Taliban commando, Afghanistan's top law-enforcer said Saturday. Three suspects were arrested within hours of Thursday's attack, which saw the American military whisk Karzai away from a southeastern city where he was to open a school. "They are local people from that village where we arrested them," Interior Minister Ali Ahmad Jalali said. "They are members of the Taliban. They said they are Taliban."
