The heart of Afghanistan's capital city of Kabul was the site of a brazing attack today, including rockets fired at the heavily guarded neighborhood of the US embassy and headquarters of NATO. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton responded to the attacks by vowing to "take all necessary steps not only to ensure the safety of our people but to secure the area and to ensure those who perpetrated this attack are dealt with." Laura King is in Kabul for the Los Angeles Times.
