This one not in Kabul; a mortar hit our office in Jalalabad. Luckily it didn't hit until 1130 pm, so no one was there. I talked today to one of the guys posted there; he is heading out on leave today. He wasn't too upset by it, though he says it completely took out his desk and computer and phone. He said he was there about ten minutes earlier, and knows he was lucky. So that's one more place I need to go see how our people are doing; I'm trying for a bit later in March, but I need to get to a couple of other places first. I'm starting to fall behind on these types of necessary visits.
On the Kabul rockets on Friday morning, the news is that they hit on the Defense Ministry compound, maybe a bit more than half a mile south of us, and adjacent to the presidential palace. It had been quite a while, maybe four months or so, since the last indirect fire had hit Kabul, so this surprised some people.
Completely unrelated note: on the trip to Kandahar on Thursday, I bought a T-shirt that I think will fit my son-in-law.
