Rocket kills two in Kohat

A rocket attack killed two people including one policeman on Monday in Kohat, police said, as the country beefed up security ahead of the religious ceremony Ashura. "One rocket fell near a police checkpost in the main bazaar of (the garrison city) Kohat while another landed harmlessly at an open place," local police chief Mubarak Zeb told reporters.
The rockets were apparently launched by militants from the nearby arms manufacturing tribal town of Darra Adam Khel, he said. Eight people including three policemen who were manning the checkpost were wounded, he said, adding that one policeman and one civilian later died in hospital. Another police officer Fazal Naeem confirmed the attack.
