Peacekeepers Suffer Two 'casualties' in Rocket Attack in Afghan Capital

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - International peacekeepers in the Afghan capital suffered two "casualties" in a rocket attack on one of their vehicles Sunday, a spokesman said. He would not say if the victims were killed or wounded.
Three rockets were fired shortly before 9:00 p.m. near the Jalalabad Road, a main route into Kabul from the east where the International Security Assistance Force has several bases, said Lt. Richard Scarth, a spokesman for the NATO-led force.

"We understand that there have been two ISAF casualties and we're investigating," British Lt. Richard Scarth said.

Asked if the two victims were dead or injured, Scarth declined to elaborate.

more...Not sure. But I think this mumbo jumbo from Lt. Richard Scarth means two US soldiers were killed by the Taliban who Rumsfeld said were eviscerated over two years ago? I am not sure though?

of ISAF. They are there separately, not under any orders but their own. ISAF is the NATO force, currently including a lot of Canadians. I'll go check some stuff and edit if I find more.

Here's the ISAF NATO site.
