. it was supposed to be a peaceful day of worship and prayer in kabul but the peace didn't last long. on tuesday morning militants fired a number of rockets towards the presidential palace as president ashraf ghani was delivering a speech to mock the muslim celebrations of eat. could do it figuratively if the insurgents think that with rocket attacks this nation will surrender they have to think again. this is a brave tough nation and we are always ready to defend our independence and islamic tradition yet. the rockets triggered an immediate and ferocious response by security forces a military helicopter targeted the house from where the rockets were fired sending plumes of smoke into the sky. sort of sober as a result of the mortar attacks only two police officers were slightly wounded and

all the terrorists were killed in a clearing operation launched by afghan security forces the area with. afghan police hold the taliban responsible and the timing of the assault a significant it comes two days after the president offered the taliban a conditional three month cease fire coinciding with its celebrations. what presidents all call those that in the past we used to celebrate eat with joy and happiness but now suicide attacks people on the holiday is filled with tension. when we leave our homes we're not sure if i'll make it back alive i just praise almighty god to safeguard all the muslim people in afghanistan. the attacks mark yet another blow to gunnies efforts to bring the taliban to the negotiating table and hold peace talks to end the country seventeen year war. and for the latest i

have on the line and journalist that you are very he joins me from kabul to hear how did this attack on ford and is the fighting now over. yes the fighting is over actually what we hear from our sources is that three and attackers they try to set fire rockets where prisoners are when he was advertising the nation during a very major religious festival here in afghanistan about you know what we hear is that they fired at least three rockets which allowed very close by and there are loads of foreign embassies and they are going as well but as a result as you are told that they too are scum security offices where one day old they had three attackers were gunned down and die police are believing the taliban for this sort why would that the only bomb and launch an attack now spacey do you think. because well we would we can t. i would will i what we can analyze from here is statement that the taliban didn't

really welcome prison our seventy's conditional cease fire proposal earlier two months ago they accepted that but only for two to three days where the taliban came into the cities and they were welcomed by do you call on the we're all part ice creams on flowers on things like that but then this time for isn't any fault that for us that this is the big time to offer them up if you don't longer and lengthy a. proposal which was a lot of sense as well that's why you don't get your forces on the scene you don't feel dabbing go to anyone else to blame for that because the taliban is paid that is quite glad that it was not welcomed by them so how much it was a setback is this pope as in i should have gone and will tell his options now that the taliban has indicated it has rejected its all for a temporary ceasefire one that this is really time now for the afghan government because they were thinking that they were very close to a kind of peace deal with the taliban because the international community is also

making a very big at the here to bring the taliban to the negotiating table but we there's one which happened now which all courts littlejohn's got to hold all publicity this kind of performance goals it seems like it will be now really terrible prevented any i don't really know just before i want to have science because it seems that the taliban the taliban always claim that they are gaining more ground you're not gonna sign and they are you know fighting back down your goals they're still that is why i think it is you want to talk about what you want to the big we called nation of them all the dimensions it's just you know they have the technology to be able to negotiate thing with would be not the afghan government but the united states thank god we in kabul thank you very much. listen to look at some other stories making news around the world more than a million people have now taken refuge in relief camps after floods in the southern indian state of kettler two weeks of tarantula rince of much to much of the state
