Taliban: Our Rockets Just Missed John Kerry

A near-miss for John Kerry? The Taliban says it fired four rockets into Kabul on Saturday aimed at the Secretary of State but missed him by about an hour, CNN reports. Kerry had just left Kabul and his plane was readying to take off when four blasts sounded in the city's diplomatic zone, per the Guardian. Police tell NBC News that two or more rockets struck, but no one was hurt. Kerry was there trying to get President Ashraf Ghani and Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah to make compromises and share power, at a time when the nation's economy is weak and the Taliban is more powerful than they have been since their rule ended in 2001.
