The Taliban denies it. So who did do it? AP, April 12:
ASADABAD, Afghanistan — A rocket exploded Tuesday in a schoolyard in eastern Afghanistan, killing seven students and wounding 34 other people in an attack possibly aimed at a nearby U.S. military base, officials said.
Police commander Mohammed Hasan accused the Taliban of targeting the boys school in Asadabad in Kunar province, but a purported Taliban spokesman, Qari Mohammed Yousaf, said, "We do not kill innocent children."
Hundreds of boys ages 6 to 16 were in the courtyard at the time of the missile strike, witnesses said.
