Hamid Karzai's home attacked by rockets

There is violence in Kabul ahead of elections in Afghanistan. A rocket struck the presidential palace in Kabul and a second hit the Afghan capital's police headquarters on Tuesday, a police source said.

Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai was inside the campus at the time of the attack. These attacks come just two days before the presidential election.

However, no one was hurt in the attacks. The first rocket caused some damage inside the heavily fortified palace compound in the city centre. The second hit the main police headquarters nearby.

Militants have vowed to disrupt Thursday's election and have already fired rockets at the capital twice this month. Such attacks have been rare in recent years.
