ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Kabul — A rocket exploded outside the Canadian ambassador's residence in the Afghan capital on Wednesday.
Two local men believed to be guards employed at the residence were injured in the blast just before dawn.
Defence Minister Bill Graham is currently in Afghanistan but "was not involved," Defence Department spokeswoman Kiersten Leus said from Ottawa. She would not say where Mr. Graham was when the rocket exploded.
The new Canadian ambassador to Afghanistan, David Sproule, has been in the country for about a week, a Canadian embassy official in Kabul said. It was not known where Mr. Sproule was when the rocket exploded.
Some Canadians were in the building when the rocket, one of two to hit the city on Wednesday, exploded, said Dan McTeague, the parliamentary secretary for Canadians abroad.
"We had guards from a local company and two of them were injured," said the Canadian embassy official. "The rocket in fact struck very close to our embassy residence."
The area of the city is heavily protected because it is home to buildings housing offices and residences of foreign diplomats. It was not clear whether the Canadian building was damaged.
It also wasn't clear whether the Canadian building was the intended target of the rocket or whether it was fired in the general area because of the number of foreign offices and residences located there."
Personal Note:
I was eating at a Chinese Restaurant recently.
I opened my fortune cookie.
My little fortune said, "NEVER STOP. One always stops
as soon as something is about to happen."
I opened up my email today and one of the special links
was this inspiringthots site. A link jumped out at me:
"DON'T QUIT."
