Meanwhile, the war in Afghanistan continues day after day... Rebels Fire on U.S. Forces in Afghanistan By Associated Press May 5, 2003, 9:22 AM EDT KABUL, Afghanistan -- Rebels fired five rockets at U.S. special forces training in eastern Afghanistan, the army said Monday. The rockets were fired Sunday near the eastern city of Gardez and missed the soldiers by 800 yards. No one was hurt, an army statement said. A patrol from the 82nd Airborne Division was dispatched to investigate the attack. The statement did not say whether anything was found. About 11,500 troops from 23 countries are in Afghanistan hunting remnants of the ousted Taliban regime, fugitives from the al-Qaida terrorist network and loyalists of renegade rebel leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said last week that "major combat activities" in Afghanistan were finished, but coalition soldiers still are targeted frequently in rocket attacks. Two U.S. soldiers were killed in an April 25 firefight near Shkin in southeast Afghanistan. They were investigating suspicious activity at the site of an earlier rocket attack.
