| 2015-12-23 |
| The Ministry of Interior (MoI) on Tuesday said that five people have been arrested in connection with Monday night's rocket attack in Kabul. The ministry said one rocket landed in a U.S base, Camp Eggers, close to the US Embassy - another near Amani High School and the third one inside the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum compound. However no casualties were reported. "Fortunately, the [rocket] attacks left no casualties," said MoI spokesman Sediq Sediqqi. A number of senators meanwhile called on government to take measures to avoid a repeat of such an attack. "We urge the security forces to seriously investigate the incident and find out where it originated from," said Senator Anarkali Honaryar. This comes after a spike in criminal and insurgent attacks in and around Kabul in recent two days. On Sunday evening Lisa Akbari an Afghan-American was gunned down while leaving a gym in Kart-e-Char in Kabul. Kabul Police said the victim was shot by a mullah from a mosque within the complex that houses the gym. Kabul police chief Abdul Rahman Rahimi has said the mullah was a graduate of the Sharia Faculty of Ustad Rabbani Education University in Kabul. |
