One civilian killed in Kabul rocket attack

A series of rockets struck Kabul yesterday, killing one person and wounding two, officials said, the second such attack to rock the Afghan capital in less than a month. 

Violence has surged across Afghanistan in recent months despite the Taliban and the government engaging in peace talks since September 12 in Qatar.
