Kabul's international airport has been hit by three
explosions, in what is believed to be a series of
rocket attacks. Military sources say there are no
injuries. 
British and French troops based near the airport have
been put on full alert following the blasts. 
The explosions came just hours before US Defence
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is due to arrive at Bagram
Air Base, 50 kilometres north of Kabul. He is expected
to travel to the Afghan capital to hold talks with
interim leader Hamid Karzai. 
Meanwhile remnants of Taliban and al-Qaeda forces have
attacked the main eastern Afghanistan town of Gardez
near where the biggest US-led ground battle of the
Afghan war was fought last month.
The Afghan Islamic Press says artillery and rockets
were used in yesterday's fighting which killed four
and wounded nine. 
Gardez has been the scene of bitter infighting between
rival warlords from the majority ethnic Pashtun
community since the beginning of the year.
