Rocket exploded today outside the U.S. embassy in Kabul, just hours after U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai at a presidential palace not far from the embassy.
No injuries were reported after the blast.
The attack underlined the country's fragile security situation days before a key Afghan gathering to approve the first constitution since the U.S.-led war there.
