| Three rockets hit Afghan capital - police Posted: 12 Nov 2012 08:35 PM PST KABUL (Reuters) - A rocket landed near the Afghan intelligence agency in Kabul and two others struck near the airport highway and a private television station, security officials said. The rocket attacks were a reminder of Afghanistan's security challenges as most NATO combat troops prepare to withdraw at the end of 2014. Kabul Police Chief Ayoub Salangi said insurgents positioned the rockets on the eastern outskirts of Kabul. He said three civilians were wounded and one was in critical condition. Militants have in the past launched several high-profile attacks in Kabul. (Reporting by Mirwais Harooni; Writing by Michael Georgy; editing by Miral Fahmy) Copyright © 2012 Reuters | ||

| FBI agents search house of Petraeus' former mistress Posted: 12 Nov 2012 08:01 PM PST CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (Reuters) - FBI agents searched the North Carolina house of Paula Broadwell on Monday, signalling renewed activity in the investigation that revealed her extramarital affair with CIA Director David Petraeus that led to his resignation. Agents entered the house in Charlotte, North Carolina, carrying boxes around 9:00 p.m. (0200 GMT Tuesday) and were still there almost two hours later.
U.S. officials had said in recent days that their investigation in the Petraeus affair was largely complete and that prosecutors had determined it was unlikely they would bring charges in the case, which started as suspected cyber-harassment involving Broadwell and Jill Kelley, a Petraeus friend. Lawmakers and others have questioned whether Broadwell, who co-wrote a biography of the decorated former general, obtained classified information from him or another source. There was no sign that Broadwell or members of her family were at the house during the FBI search. Shelley Lynch, a spokeswoman for the FBI in Charlotte, confirmed that agents were at the house but declined further comment.
